Trump and Republicans blame France's immigrants for riots without evidence

President Trump and Republicans are making unsubstantiated claims that Muslim migrants are causing riots in France, despite authorities finding no evidence linking immigrants to the violence. The unrest, sparked by cost-of-living protests and school funding grievances, turned violent over the weekend. French police have not connected immigrants to the rioting, and France does not collect ethnicity data, though images suggest diverse participation. In Milan, some rioters included naturalized children of immigrants, but officials say more investigation is needed. No houses of worship were directly attacked, and a damaged synagogue was likely a burglary attempt. Far-left activists are blamed by some, but experts say they are too small to cause the scale of violence, with looting likely from criminals. The claims come ahead of U.S. midterm elections, with Trump urging France to close borders.
