French Court Halts Expulsion of Algerian Influencer Doualemn

The suspension challenges the Interior Ministry's use of emergency procedures, citing insufficient justification for immediate expulsion.

The Paris Administrative Court suspended the expedited expulsion of Doualemn, an Algerian influencer, citing a lack of imminent public danger to justify emergency measures.
Doualemn, accused of inciting violence in a TikTok video, remains in administrative detention pending a trial scheduled for February 24.
The court upheld the withdrawal of Doualemn's residency permit but ruled that any expulsion must follow standard legal procedures, not emergency protocols.
Doualemn's initial expulsion to Algeria on January 9 was reversed when Algerian authorities refused his entry, intensifying diplomatic tensions between France and Algeria.
The Interior Ministry has one month to review its approach, while Doualemn's lawyers criticized the ministry's actions as politically motivated and procedurally flawed.
