France: At Least 2 Dead After Armed Gang Ambushes Prison Van Transporting Drug Kingpin

Despite strict gun control in France police were still shot dead.

At least two French prison officers have been shot dead after a convoy transporting a Muslim inmate was ambushed by armed men in masks who opened fire indiscriminately.

The attack occurred shortly after 11 a.m. local time at the Incarville tollbooth in Eure, northwest of Paris.

Two vehicles rammed into the prison van, trapping the vehicle, before several men with assault rifles shot at officers, leaving at least two dead and several injured.

There are currently conflicting reports in the French media on whether two or three of the prison officers have died.

The inmate, named in the French press as 30-year-old Mohamed A., was escorted into one of the vehicles by the men who then fled the scene. The vehicles used by the gang included a white Audi A5 and a BMW 5 Series, the former of which was discovered torched not far from the crime scene.

The escapee had been convicted of burglary but was also indicted for attempted homicide and drug trafficking offenses pertaining to a partially burned body found in June 2022 with a bullet in the head.

A police source told Le Parisien that Mohamed A. was the head of a narcotics network in France.

French Justice Minister Éric Dupond-Moretti said that France was “in mourning” following the attack.

He confirmed that at least two men were dead. “One of them leaves a wife and two children who were to celebrate their 21st birthday in two days. The other leaves a woman five months pregnant, parents, and of course, friends,” he said.

“This morning’s attack, which cost the lives of prison administration agents, is a shock for all of us,” said French President Emmanuel Macron

“The nation stands alongside the families, the injured, and their colleagues. Everything is being done to find the perpetrators of this crime so that justice can be done in the name of the French people,” he added.

Over 200 police officers have been mobilized to track down the fugitive and his accomplices, including police helicopters.

The manhunt is ongoing.

UK: Sunak’s Rwanda Plan Hits Yet Another Legal Obstacle

Migration expert says the prospect of proper border control “has never looked more remote.”

Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda plan—to deter Channel crossings by sending illegal migrants to the African nation for asylum processing—cannot apply to Northern Ireland, a Belfast High Court judge has ruled.

The official said that migrants cannot be deported to Rwanda from Northern Ireland, which is a province of the United Kingdom, because this would be in breach of the UK-EU post-Brexit Windsor Framework, which says there can be no reduction of the rights enshrined within the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. They added that aspects of the Act are incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).

Robert Bates, who is research director at the Centre for Migration Control think tank, said that the decision should come as no surprise. He told The European Conservative:

Yet again we hear that the Rwanda plan is rubbing up against Britain’s so-called human rights obligations. The prime minister was warned by many, including his former Home Secretary Suella Braverman, that his legislation simply would not work if we remained within the ECHR—and sadly they have been shown to be correct.

Sunak has publicly toyed with the idea of Britain breaking away from the ECHR in order to get Rwanda deportation flights off the ground, but insider reports have revealed these ‘considerations’ to be phoney.

Ministers now fear that illegal migrants will move to Northern Ireland to protect themselves from the (already negligible) threat of deportation. One Home Office source is quoted in The Times as saying: “If word gets out then people will move to Northern Ireland to avoid being sent to Rwanda.”

After a quiet week or so in the Rwanda Plan Möbius loop—punctuated by the brief suggestion that the plan could even be starting to work—the whole scheme looks again to be in the air (unlike the proposed deportation flights).

Bates told this publication that “since the plan was first announced in 2021, it has experienced death by a thousand cuts. Headline after headline has shown that the chances of the Home Office actually stopping the small boats are as remote as the Tories’ electoral prospects. The deterrent effect simply does not exist.” He added:

The Brexit referendum was a clear demand from the British public to take back control of our borders, yet this prospect has never looked more remote. Those entering the UK illegally are protected by an army of left-wing lawyers and a cacophony of international agreements, organisations and legislation.

The problem is that those meant to be looking after the British public—Rishi Sunak and the Conservative government—have shown themselves to be inept and unwilling to take decisive action.

Sunak’s government will appeal the Belfast High Court decision, and insists that flights will still take off to Rwanda in July.

French Police Officers Doused in Petrol by 40-Strong Migrant Group Headed For Britain

French Police Officers Doused in Petrol by 40-Strong Migrant Group Headed For Britain

Two French police officers were injured while attempting to stop the migrant group from setting sail for England. They were doused in petrol and had lit lifejackets thrown at them.

Two French police officers were doused in petrol and targeted with lit projectiles during a failed attempt to prevent a group of 40 migrants from crossing the English Channel.

The incident occurred on Monday near Gravelines, a French commune around 20 kilometers southwest of Dunkirk.

Shortly after 11 p.m., the officers spotted the migrant group heading to the coastline at Place du Petit Fort Philippe carrying a dinghy and life jackets.

In a bid to intercept the group before they embarked on the vessel, the officers chased after the migrants, who turned around and confronted them.

According to BFMTV, the migrant group opened a can of petrol and threw the substance at the officers before lighting their life jackets and launching them at the two men.

The officers evaded the projectiles but were forced to retreat, using tear gas to hold off the group while awaiting reinforcements.

Several supporting officers were dispatched to the scene and managed to thwart the migrant group’s attempt to set sail for Britain. None of the group, however, were detained.

French media reported that the group smashed the windows of five cars parked by the seafront during their escape.

The number of illegal migrants conducting daily crossings of the English Channel is on the rise again despite the U.K.’s Conservative government’s attempt at deterrence through its Rwanda offshore processing scheme.

A total of 876 illegal migrants have successfully crossed the Channel in the last seven days on 17 boats, according to Home Office data, with 2,007 migrants reaching Britain since the passing of the Government’s Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Act on April 25.

The total figure for the year to date is 8,674 successful crossings — up 35 percent from the same period last year and 14 percent over 2022.

Jailed DC Pro-Lifer Lauren Handy Sentenced to 4 Years in Prison by Pro-Abortion Judge

Jailed DC Pro-Lifer Lauren Handy Sentenced to 4 Years in Prison by Pro-Abortion Judge

Pro-life advocate Lauren Handy was sentenced to four years in prison, in the first of Tuesday’s sentencing hearings for the peaceful pro-life rescuers convicted last year of blocking access to a late-term abortion center in DC.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Pro-life advocate Lauren Handy was sentenced to four years in prison and a $125 fine on Tuesday, in the first of Tuesday’s sentencing hearings for the first batch of pro-lifers convicted last year of blocking access to a late-term abortion facility in the nation’s capital.

On August 29, 2023, a D.C. jury found Handy, Will Goodman, Heather Idoni, John Hinshaw, and Rosemary “Herb” Geraghty guilty of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and “conspiracy against rights.” The next month, Joan Andrews Bell, Jonathan Darnel, and Jean Marshall were convicted of the same; Paulette Harlow’s conviction came in November.

Tuesday’s hearings, before U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, began with Handy, the activism director of Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU), starting at 9:00 AM. Hinshaw and Goodman are also being sentenced today in the nation’s capital.

As LifeSiteNews has extensively reported, the pro-lifers stood trial for blocking accessto the Washington Surgi-Clinic in downtown Washington, D.C., in a “traditional rescue” in October 2020. 

Pro-life “rescues,” of which there were many in the early days of the pro-life movement before the FACE Act became federal law, involve physically entering abortion centers and refusing to leave in an effort to convince women to choose life for their babies. (Washington Surgi-Clinic is also where five late-term aborted babies were discovered who may have either been killed by illegal partial-birth abortion procedures or after live birth).

Following the convictions, Handy and most of the co-defendants were denied releasewhile awaiting sentencing. Last month, the U.S. Justice Department filed sentencing memos calling for Handy to serve between 5.25 and 6.5 years in prison, and for the rest of the defendants to serve a minimum of two years. On Monday, Kollar-Kotelly ruled in favor of multiple sentencing enhancements, including obstruction of justice for alleged perjury at trial and for their “victims” (i.e., abortion facility clients) being “vulnerable.”

Handy’s technical sentence was four years and nine months, minus the nine months she has already spent in prison.

“This time has been challenging but I refuse to be jaded. Why? Because life goes on… even in jail,” Handy said on Tuesday morning prior to her sentencing. “So I might as well continue to love and cry and scream and dance. That is joy. The feeling of being fully alive without shame. Which is something no court can take from me.”

“There was only one thing around which Ms. Handy and her co-defendants were unified, and that was nonviolence,” said Martin Cannon, senior counsel of the Thomas More Society which is representing Handy. “They conspired to be peaceful. Yet, today, the Court granted the Biden Department of Justice its wish by sentencing Ms. Handy to 57 months – nearly 5 years in prison. For her efforts to peacefully protect the lives of innocent preborn human beings, Ms. Handy deserves thanks, not a gut-wrenching prison sentence. We will vigorously pursue an appeal of Ms. Handy’s conviction and attack the root cause of this injustice, that is, the FACE Act – which we believe is unconstitutional and should never again be used to persecute peaceful pro-lifers.”

“Today the Biden Administration and Merrick Garland’s DOJ have reached a new level of tyranny,” responded Terrisa Bukovinac, the founder of PAAU. “There is no other social justice movement in our nation whose activists are subject to years in federal prison for nonviolent resistance. This blatant viewpoint discrimination has incalculable consequences for babies, their parents, those who defend them, and for peaceful activists across movements worldwide. I continue to stand by Lauren and the other 8 defendants who risked their freedoms to stand in defense of the least of us.”

The cases are the latest in what pro-lifers condemn as a pattern of the pro-abortion Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) weaponizing the criminal justice system to crush its political enemies.

Since May 2022, when the U.S. Supreme Court’s intention to overturn Roe v. Wade was first leaked, “there have been at least 236 attacks on Catholic churches and at least 90 attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers,” the Daily Signal reported. Yet the DOJ “charged only pro-life activists with FACE Act violations in 2022, and has since charged only five individuals with violating the FACE Act by targeting pregnancy centers.” At the same time, it has zealously pursued incidents involving pro-lifers, from the D.C. defendants to Philadelphia sidewalk counselor and Catholic father of seven Mark Houck.

Several of the D.C. Nine have endured mistreatment while in custody above and beyond the charges and sentencing themselves. Heather Idoni, 59, was placed in prolonged solitary confinement for 22 days and deprived of sleep with the lights of her cell kept on continually. Jean Marshall, 74, was deprived of sufficient clothing and heat during extreme freezing winter cold, causing her to contract pneumonia which went untreated for three weeks, and was denied urgent hip surgery. Paulette Harlow, 75, was refused permission to attend Catholic Mass while under house arrest.
