Hundreds of people who had been living beneath the elevated metro at La Chapelle were removed in a police operation described by officials as sanitary or humanitarian. Paris-Luttes.info recorded that many were left without durable shelter and that nearby residents and supporters organized food, clothing and places to sleep. The eviction made control of urban space a central question: displaced people were repeatedly moved while their own demands for papers, housing and the right to remain were sidelined.
