French police are hitting new highs in stopping migrant crossings in the English Channel, intercepting over 4,000 people across 1,850 attempts this summer — including disabling 12 boats at sea. Backed by a recent UK-France deal boosting resources, interceptions have surged to 61% of attempts, up five percentage points from last year. While critics call the stats misleading and claim overall prevention rates are falling, officials highlight weeks where every boat was stopped — both at sea and on land. Their multi-pronged strategy includes cracking down on smuggling gear, destroying boats before launch, and intensifying at-sea operations. Despite smugglers adapting with larger vessels, the uptick in stops suggests the tide is turning — and authorities vow to keep pressing forward.
