France will intercept migrant boats in the English Channel before they load passengers, a shift driven by UK pressure and rising crossings.
France will begin intercepting migrant boats in the English Channel before they pick up passengers, a major policy shift after years of avoiding intervention due to safety risks.
The move, prompted by UK pressure and rising crossings—39,292 by November 27, 2025, a 17% increase from 2024—aims to disrupt smuggling networks and reduce dangerous voyages.
French gendarmes will now stop vessels at sea, though methods like nets are ruled out and operations are delayed by weather.
Despite the change, criminal gangs may adapt, and the long-term impact remains uncertain.
