Dozens Protest in Paris Against Trump’s Immigration Crackdown
Protesters in France rally against US President Donald Trump’s strict immigration policies, citing human rights concerns.
Paris, France — Dozens of protesters gathered in central Paris on Wednesday to voice opposition to US President Donald Trump’s renewed immigration crackdown, expressing solidarity with migrants and denouncing what they described as discriminatory and inhumane policies.
The demonstration took place near a symbolic public square, where activists, members of civil society groups, and expatriates held placards and chanted slogans calling for migrant rights and international solidarity. Protesters criticized recent measures announced by the Trump administration aimed at tightening border controls, accelerating deportations, and restricting asylum access.
Organizers said the rally was intended to send a message that opposition to restrictive immigration policies extends beyond US borders. “What happens in the United States has global consequences,” one demonstrator said. “We are here to stand with migrants and refugees who are being targeted by political decisions.”
Human rights groups have warned that the immigration measures could disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, including asylum seekers and undocumented workers. Several speakers at the rally urged European governments to take a firm stance in defense of international humanitarian standards.
While the protest remained peaceful and relatively small in scale, it reflects ongoing international concern over US immigration policy and its broader implications. Similar demonstrations have been held in other European cities in recent weeks, highlighting growing global scrutiny of Washington’s approach to migration.
French authorities monitored the gathering, which concluded without incident.
