French police evicted around 100 migrants from a makeshift tent camp near the city hall in Paris on Tuesday ahead of the Olympic Games.
The dawn operation, which prompted renewed accusations of “social cleansing”, saw police order the migrants to pack their tents and belongings.
While the group, mostly teenage boys and young men from West Africa, many of whom were children awaiting papers, were offered temporary housing in the Loire-region town of Angers, only three boarded the bus.
Paris police said the operation was conducted for security reasons, notably because the camp was near schools.
“We call it ‘nettoyage social,’ or social cleansing, as there’s no proper solution(s) that are proposed to the people,” he told AP, alleging that people are being swept aside to make “room for the beautiful Paris postcard."

The real problem is not that they are doing this, ie. not allowing people to camp out on the streets, but that the police are not doing this all of the time.
It's like Xi's visit to San Francisco, where for the space of Xi's visit, California kicked drug addicts and criminals off the streets, but this same left-wing government, when Xi is not visiting, uses these drug addicts and criminals to make war on the law abiding and constructive people.

Social cleansing? Just getting rid of people who shouldn't be there making the place into a pigsty.
@WalrusPatUnity2wks2W
Social cleansing looks like a good thing to me as long as they're given the opportunity to leave of their own free will first. The streets are for people to walk along they're not campsites.
Please come do it across every left wing governed city in US
Austin business employees can’t get into their own property without stepping over a public toilet
Yet we are constantly told the ever increasing swarm of homeless are the victims
They deal drugs openly , they menace passers by and frequently attack students where they are drawn to campus areas
They’re violent and deranged

So these migrants were offered temporary housing in the Loire-region town of Angers, but only three boarded the bus? Makes you think why these migrants always want to remain in the big cities.
