"French Court Strikes Down Parts of Macron's Immigration Law, Tightening Regulations"

TL;DR Summary
France's Constitutional Council has struck down some of the most extreme measures in President Emmanuel Macron's immigration law, which had been supported by the far-right Rassemblement National. The decision blocks several draconian measures, but the law will still be promulgated in a truncated form. The ruling has sparked debate over parliamentary sovereignty and judicial oversight, with the French right pushing for changes to the constitution to limit judicial interference. Macron's handling of the immigration law has drawn criticism and handed a symbolic victory to the far right.
