Two Belgian police officers were briefly detained by their French colleagues as they returned a group of migrants to French soil, an incident that raised tensions between the neighbors.
French authorities said the two cops were stopped after they crossed the border near the town of Nieppe. They were transporting 13 migrants. An official said in a statement on Thursday that “French authorities have expressed their utter disapproval following this initiative which does not comply with the usual working practices between France and Belgium.” French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve summoned the Belgian ambassador in France on Wednesday to express the “indignation” of French authorities, the ministry press office said.
