French police evacuate migrants in tent camp

PARIS — Police evacuated hundreds of migrants Tuesday from a makeshift tent camp near a train station and tourist area, then bulldozed their leftover debris from a patch of pavement that had become a symbol of Europe’s migrant crisis.

The migrants, mostly from East Africa, took agonizing journeys to reach the French capital but have found themselves in legal limbo, with little prospects for asylum or jobs. Anger at their presence and concerns about health issues have mounted among locals.
