It was frigid and snowy when Kimberly landed in Toronto from Uganda, seeking asylum with her four-year-old daughter.
They only had enough money to stay at an Airbnb for three days. The single mother kept calling the city’s emergency hotline, but all shelters were full.
When Kimberly finally mentioned that her child couldn’t bear the cold outside, the person on the phone said the best they could do was to bus her and her daughter to a hotel in Niagara Falls.
From the very start of the Quebec election campaign, Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon made it clear that immigration would once again be one of the defining issues. By proposing to cut the number of temporary immigrants in the province by half and reduce permanent immigration to roughly 35,000 people a year, the PQ leader has reignited a debate that, predictably, quickly became polarized.
It took only a few days for the discussion to move away from the proposed levels and from Quebec’s actual capacity to welcome and integrate newcomers. Québec solidaire co-spokesperson Ruba Ghazal was quick to ask the PQ leader to define “what is a Quebecer?” Liberal leader Charles Milliard, for his part, accused PSPP of operating in a “gray zone” when discussing immigration.
Early waves of immigrants to the United States each brought something that contributed to the material well-being of the nation.
The English brought notions of common law and individual liberty. The Germans built great breweries and brought their orderliness and discipline in their post-Reformation Protestantism. And sauerkraut. The Norwegians brought cultural tolerance, the Finns their saunas, the Swedes their blonde bombshells — looking at you, Ann-Margret, the Italians their outstanding cuisine, the French their arts, and the Cubans their condos, HMOs, and hatred of tyranny and communism.
An 18-year-old woman has been gang raped and beaten by up to ten different men, many of them with a Syrian background, in the Dutch city of Dordrecht. Although the rape occurred in May 2025, the suspects are only now being arrested. In response to the rape, political leader Geert Wilders wrote that the Netherlands also has Islamic grooming gangs and called for all the perpetrators to be removed from the country along with their families.
Eleven defendants will face trial in France after being accused of killing a 16-year-old in 2023 while engaging in speech “against the white race and the French nation,” according to a judicial order seen by POLITICO.
The death of Thomas Perotto in the village of Cr´epol quickly became a political flashpoint, with far-right figures like Eric Zemmour framing the incident as an example of the threat posed by immigrants.

An African illegal migrant is accused of raping an 8-year-old girl in the French city of Brest in August 2026. He remains in pre-trial detention and has already been issued a deportation order.
The suspect is a 41-year-old man from the Comoros who lives in Le Mans without legal status and was visiting Brest. Prosecutors say the alleged attack happened in an apartment after the child’s mother had left. The girl also described a similar incident earlier in August.
A man who threw a plastic bottle and swore at the police while taking part in an anti-immigration protest in Portsmouth has been sent to prison for two years.
Del Somerville was given a jail sentence on Thursday after pleading guilty to violent disorder following unrest, involving around 200 people, at Eastney Marina on 6 September. Yes, Somerville threw a plastic bottle at police officers, which he shouldn’t have done. But it’s notable just how quickly and severely the courts moved to punish him. It was clear the legal establishment was looking to make an example of him. At Portsmouth Crown Court, the judge explicitly stated that the severe sentence was intended to ‘act as a deterrent’ to others.
A 2-year-old boy traveling with his mother toward the Canary Island of Lanzarote was allegedly thrown into the sea from a migrant boat because he would not stop crying, according to an official who oversees the island’s emergency response.
Enrique Espinosa, manager of the Security and Emergencies Consortium of Lanzarote’s island council, or Cabildo, recounted the episode on the Crónicas Radio program “A Buena Hora.”
The Trump administration has been accused of widespread human rights violations stemming from its “militarized immigration enforcement” in a new report that critics say Ottawa — and all Canadians — should heed.
Based on field research, Amnesty International USA documented incidents where officials with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection and other federal agencies were alleged to have breached the rights of migrants, bystanders and protesters.
We need Canadian ICE.
Video footage captured the moment a man abandoned a child before scrambling onto a dinghy in France – as it was confirmed nearly 800 small-boat migrants reached Britain in a single day.
Harrowing and chaotic footage recorded off a beach in France shows the man clutching a toddler as he attempts to board the small boat.
In chest-deep water, and amid heavy swell, he then lets go of the child who is left floating in the sea for a few seconds, face up.

After a 20-year-old Italian citizen of Egyptian origin allegedly raped a 12-year-old boy, the child’s relatives used convenience store surveillance footage to identify the suspect and later stabbed him in the legs. The Egyptian-Italian suspect was arrested and confessed to sexually assaulting the boy in a public park in Turin’s northern outskirts, authorities said.
I don’t think they were going for his legs.
Long-time associate of Tommy Robinson, Danny Tommo, has been arrested in the United Kingdom after he livestreamed himself slashing the inflatable hull of a migrant boat to, he said, prevent it from being re-used.
Piddington’s recent declaration of independence may not have stopped the UK government’s plan to turn a nearby army base into a migrant camp. But the Oxfordshire village has nevertheless been hugely successful in drawing attention to the problem of where to house illegal migrants.
On Monday and Tuesday, a so-called ‘mega dinghy’ made its way across the English Channel from the coast of Normandy. Originating from the town of Vierville-sur-Mer, near Omaha Beach, the inflatable represented what many Brits would see as a direct reversal of Operation Overlord, which began on D-Day.

A conservative premier in Canada revealed the staggering cost migrants have on her province and the small contribution they make in return.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, 55, spotlighted at a press conference on Monday that $1 billion CAD [$710.2 million USD] is annually spent on health care and education for temporary residents.
Smith claimed that migrants contribute just $150 million CAD [$106.5 million USD] to provincial tax revenues, far less than a quarter of what they cost the region.
