France’s interior ministry has banned 10 British anti-migrant activists from entering the country. These activists belong to the Raise the Colours movement. Officials said the ban came after reports of anti-migrant actions on French soil. "Our rule of law is non-negotiable. Violent and hate inciting tactics have no place in our territory," the ministry said on X (formerly Twitter). The individuals banned have not been named, and specific actions that caused the ban were not disclosed. The rise in asylum seekers crossing the English Channel has fueled anti-migrant feelings. In 2025, 41,000 people made the dangerous journey, the second-highest since 2018. Groups like UKIP and Raise the Colours have traveled to northern France to livestream harassment of asylum seekers waiting to cross. Raise the Colours called the French ban "absolutely disgraceful." A spokesperson said they had not received formal notice of the ban. They insisted the group only supports peaceful and legal actions. "Raise the Colours has always maintained that its activities must remain peaceful and within the law," the spokesperson added. French police are investigating alleged assaults by British men carrying English and Union Jack flags in September near Dunkirk. Videos from November show men destroying migrant boats on French beaches and shouting hateful messages at people trying to cross to the UK. Georgie Laming, director of campaigns at Hope Not Hate, welcomed the ban. She said, "The Raise the Colours team have been harassing both migrants and charity workers in northern France for months. This is the right step to stop their harassment campaign from growing." The UK Home Office has been contacted for comment.
