PARIS, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- French police cleared thousands of migrants from a makeshift Paris camp that exploded in size after the closure of the so-called "Jungle" camp in Calais, officials said.
Some 600 police officers and about 300 volunteers moved in early Friday to relocate 3,852 migrants who gathered outside the Stalingrad metro station. The migrants, most of whom were Eritrean, Somalian, Sudanese and Afghan nationals who have applied for asylum in France, were taken by 82 buses to 78 shelters in areas in Paris and other parts of France. Police described the operation as "calm."
