In preparation for the upcoming Olympic Games, Paris has relocated around 250 migrants from a camp in the city to facilities outside the capital as of July 16. A new law has been enacted to send unhoused people from Paris to ten temporary accommodation centres across France. Despite government claims that the relocations are unrelated to the Olympics, some groups, including child migrants, are pushing back against the measures. French social workers and gendarmes are collaborating to transport the migrants as of July 17.
