French police cleared a migrant camp near Paris City Hall ahead of the Olympics, citing security concerns.

Ahead of the Olympics, French police cleared a migrant camp near Paris City Hall, citing security concerns. Around 100 West African teenagers and young men were evicted and offered temporary housing in Angers, but few agreed to go due to fear of isolation. Critics, including aid groups, argue that the evictions are part of a campaign to beautify Paris ahead of the Summer Olympics and accuse it of "social cleansing".
