The French government has passed a new immigration law tightening border controls and accelerating deportation procedures for undocumented migrants. The legislation also includes provisions to improve integration programs for legal immigrants.
Supporters argue that the law will enhance national security and reduce illegal migration. However, human rights organizations have criticized it, warning of increased discrimination and marginalization.
Protests erupted in Paris and other cities, with thousands demanding a reversal of the law. President Emmanuel Macron defended the policy, stating that it strikes a balance between security and humanitarian responsibility. The law’s implementation will be closely monitored by international observers.
