In France, a police official has told a news interviewer that 60%of the violent robberies in Lyon (France's 2nd-largest city) are committed by illegal foreigners, and that 50% of those are from the same country-Algeria.
To make things worse, Algeria does not fully cooperate with French authorities trying to deport Algerian criminals back to their home country.

Crime in Lyon: "60% of perpetrators of violent robberies are illegally in the country", the prefect warns
In the middle of summer, Fabienne Buccio points to a high number of arrests in the metropolis.
In a context marked by the rise in violent robberies in Lyon, notably on public transport, the prefect of Rhône, Fabienne Buccio, sounds the alarm on the profile of the perpetrators.
Questioned on CNEWS, the Rhône state representative evokes, "a feeling of impunity". And she gives details: "When we look at people who have been arrested, 60% are persons illegally in the country, and among this 60%, half are Algerian nationals. It is a situation that is not good for France because we have crime, but it is no better for Algeria because it shows an image of this country that is, I am sure, not the image of Algeria- I have had the chance to go there- which is a beautiful country."
Strong words at a time when the state services are confronted with a double impasse, diplomatic and administrative.
The Algerian consulate in Lyon has not issued a travel permit for a year, which makes expulsions inapplicable. The two administrative detention centers are full. And without the possibility of deportation, those people held are automatically released after 90 days, the legal maximum period.
