Calais hotel raided for housing refugee families
This morning, the Pacific Hotel in Calais was raided by the police.
The hotel had been housing some refugee families, as well as people who have come to Calais to help in the jungle.
Under the current state of emergency, the police can raid properties without the need for a warrent.
This raid seems to be a resurrection of the anti solidarity rules that in the past criminalised acts of hospitality towards people without papers such as housing people. It’s also clearly another act to deny people without papers access to any basic resources such as housing.
