The French Senate is expected to approve President François Hollande’s plan to extend the state of emergency by three months, and to grant Hollande a sweeping expansion of state powers. The measures include easing police raids without a warrant and allowing the government to strip citizenship from dual passport holders convicted of terrorism. French authorities say they carried out more than 414 raids on Wednesday, arrested 64 people and placed another 118 under house arrest.
