About 2,100 migrants tried to storm the area surrounding the Eurotunnel early Tuesday before being repelled by police, an official in the northern French port of Calais said.
The official, who spoke on condition she not be named because she wasn't authorized to speak publicly, said police arrested 200 of the migrants. She said it was the largest such attempt by migrants to enter the site. "We've had a very constructive meeting," she said. "The French and U.K. governments are working in close collaboration and cooperation on this issue which affects us both."
