According to French media, at least five people died crossing the English Channel just hours after the UK approved the migrant deportation bill.
“The bodies were discovered at the Wimereaux beach in northern France,” according to the Voix du Nord newspaper.
The rescue operation is ongoing and helicopters and boats have been deployed.
“About 100 migrants have been rescued and placed aboard a French navy ship. They will be taken to the port of Boulogne,” the paper said.
