Police Evict Hundreds from France’s Largest Squat Ahead of Paris Olympics

HeadlineApr 18, 2024

French police forcibly evicted some 450 people, mostly migrants and asylum seekers, from France’s largest squat, located in a Parisian suburb. Housing and immigrant rights advocates say it’s part of a plan to remove unhoused people and refugees from Paris ahead of the Summer Olympics. Buses were waiting to bring residents of the squat to other cities, even though many of them have jobs in the Paris area and some families have children attending local schools.
