Riots spread from Paris’s immigrant suburbs across France
France struggled to contain riots that grew out of school protests in Paris suburbs with large immigrant populations, with schools set ablaze, police attacked and around 5,000 people arrested.
Saint-Denis, Aubervilliers and Pantin were among the centers of the unrest in Seine-Saint-Denis, northeast of Paris. Immigrants accounted for roughly 32% of the department’s population in 2020–2021, according to national statistics agency INSEE. French-born residents with at least one immigrant parent accounted for a further 32%. ...
France’s suburbs have repeatedly been the starting point for nationwide unrest involving young people from immigrant families. In 2005, three weeks of riots followed the deaths of two teenagers of African descent hiding from police in an electricity substation. In 2023, the police killing of Nahel Merzouk, a teenager of North African descent, triggered another wave of violence. ...
And today:
... For the right, the images of crowds dominated by immigrant-descended young people burning down ornaments of the French republic without fear of the forces of order feels like an early Christmas gift. ... it is easy for voters to see crowds with few white faces in the news and interpret this as representative across urban France. Without data easily available, the truth can be whatever you want it to be.
... The protests which began in lycée Saint-Exupéry in the Créteil banlieue of Paris before steadily spreading across France, caught the government by surprise in their scale and intensity. They have also shocked the French public by the high representation of second and third generation immigrants in the protests, and by the direct participation of elected officials from Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s hard left La France Insoumise (LFI) party in the riots.
... The most shocking thing for the general public is not just the violence and the damage itself, but the openness with which Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s party has aligned itself with the aims and the means of the protests.
From the very beginning of the protests, LFI politicians have been present at the school gates — something that would be seen as shocking particularly to a British audience. ...

... One area where ICE’s deportation efforts have fallen short is at the worksite. Jobs are the primary magnet that draws people to immigrate illegally. And while it’s been illegal since 1986 to employ illegal aliens, there’s never been much enforcement.
While the Trump administration’s immigration policies have in so many respects been a refreshing break from the past, in this area they are not. While there has been more job-related enforcement than under Biden, that’s not saying much.
If the White House’s concern (and the lack of worksite enforcement is a White House decision) is to avoid sensational news footage of illegals scattering during a raid by La Migra, there’s an obvious solution. The worksite is the ideal site for what I call “briefcase enforcement” instead of “body-armor enforcement.” Raids by armed ICE agents will always need to be an option, but less sensational—and perhaps more effective -- would be ICE audits of the payroll records of suspect employers, accompanied by colleagues from the Labor Department and IRS and state agencies. This won’t work as a one-off, but if suspect employers across all regions and industries knew that hiring illegals would result in, at the very least, a paperwork colonoscopy, followed by a notice to fire the illegal workers (if they hadn’t already run off), there’d be a lot more interest in complying with the law. The possibility of fines or criminal prosecution would be an even greater incentive for employers to clean up their payrolls, though current law makes that difficult.
Worksite enforcement would also be an important spur for self-deportation. If you’re an ordinary, non-violent illegal alien and all you hear about is the “worst of the worst” getting deported, you might figure it’s worth keeping your head down and taking a chance that you won’t get caught.
But systematic nationwide worksite enforcement would change that calculation. The likelihood of arrest by ICE would go up, and even more likely would be that your newly vigilant employer would be shocked, shocked to discover that you’re illegal and regretfully have to let you go.
Once jobs in the formal labor market, where most illegals are employed, dry up, the incentives to give up and go home increase significantly. ...
Federal law prohibits employers from knowingly hiring an unauthorized immigrant and from employing someone without work authorization. Yet a growing network of nonprofits and universities is teaching the illegal alien community exactly how to get around the law, one Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) at a time.
The IRS only cares about collecting taxes—illegal or not. It all starts with the ITIN.
Immigrants Rising, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is one of several organizations Restoration News has uncovered that openly help undocumented immigrants bypass work authorization requirements. It is just one example in our investigative series on the topic.
All theatre.
Yes, very bad theatre, but theatre nonetheless.
The foreign born population in August 2026 is virtually unchanged from October 2024.
The percent increase to the foreign born population was 3.27% in January 2025, the highest on record.
That's a Trump Administration figure which it is more than happy to blame on Biden, but it came out under Trump's watch in February 2025, not under Biden.
It would be to Trump's advantage to exaggerate the problem on the front end to claim larger effects on the back end.
But it makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE that there would be the biggest surge of immigrants into the country ever just as their biggest enemy ever is about to take office.
Meanwhile the biggest percentage declines to foreign born population came in June 2023 and April 2024, 1.91% and 1.92% respectively, when Biden was still president.
We don't interpret that as evidence of a non-existent Biden policy which was tough on migration.
Whatever one makes of the government data, it shows that we still have 48 million foreign born in America in July 2026, same as we did in December 2023. The figure captures both legal and illegal aliens in addition to American citizens.
The question I have is why is this all coming out one day before we get the August 2026 data?
Are they expecting bad news and trying to get out ahead of it?
Trump cuts migrant population by nearly 3 million; total U.S. population likely to drop
President Trump has cut the illegal immigrant population by 2.3 million since he took office, according to a preliminary analysis of government numbers to be released Thursday.
... The drop in illegal immigrants, although significant, is lower than the Homeland Security Department’s own published figures.
In January, at the one-year mark of the Trump presidency, the department said it had removed nearly 3 million illegal immigrants from the country, including 675,000 compelled deportations and 2.2 million self-deportations. ...
