France's Immigration Overhaul Faces Constitutional Crisis

TL;DR Summary
France's Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne has admitted that parts of her government's draft law on immigration are unconstitutional, just a day after the bill was narrowly passed in the National Assembly. The bill, which was toughened during negotiations to gain support from conservative and far-right parties, has caused divisions within President Emmanuel Macron's centrist coalition. A quarter of MPs from Macron's coalition abstained or voted against the bill, and Health Minister Aurélien Rousseau has resigned in protest. Macron is now under pressure to reconcile with left-leaning MPs and address concerns within his coalition.
