Police cleared the camp along Boulevard des Maréchaux and placed 2,771 people, according to the prefecture, on buses to temporary accommodation in Île-de-France. StreetPress described residents’ uncertainty about whether they would find water, food and a roof that night. The official language of “shelter” should be read alongside the dispersal of a community and the lack of control residents had over their destination.
