France to Toughen Immigration Laws After Student's Murder

The killing of a 19-year-old student by a Moroccan migrant prompts government action amid far-right pressure.

The body of Philippine, a 19-year-old student, was found in Paris's Bois de Boulogne park, leading to the arrest of a 22-year-old Moroccan suspect in Switzerland.
The suspect had a prior conviction for rape and was under an expulsion order from France, which had not been enforced due to administrative delays.
Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau has pledged to change immigration laws to better protect French citizens, responding to public outrage and far-right demands.
The National Rally (RN) party, led by Marine Le Pen, has used the incident to criticize the government's handling of immigration and security, threatening to withdraw support from the ruling coalition.
Left-wing politicians have also called for more effective deportation processes, while warning against the exploitation of the murder to spread xenophobic sentiments.
