France's Interior Minister Resigns Amidst Immigration Bill Defeat

French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin offered to resign after his immigration bill was rejected by the National Assembly, marking a crushing defeat for the government. The bill aimed to expedite the deportation of foreign criminals and legalize undocumented workers in certain cases. President Emmanuel Macron refused Darmanin's resignation and asked for new proposals to overcome the blockage. The government now faces the challenge of finding a way forward, such as sending the bill back to the Senate or seeking a compromise through a joint committee. Opposition parties, including the far-right National Rally and far-left France Unbowed, celebrated the defeat.
