France: Violence and rioting, tied to ongoing protests, have recently occurred in France and may continue. The French government has indicated they will take steps to curb "illegitimate" protests, while those organized by groups such as trade unions would be allowed to proceed. Given the heightened concerns, avoid demonstrations and areas of unrest. Stay away from areas with large crowds or significant police activity. Numerous groups submitted plans for protests on Saturday, October 24. Americans in Paris for the NFL game on Sunday, October 25 should also exercise caution and be aware of their surroundings. While permits may be filed for demonstration routes, last-minute changes can happen and protests can occur outside planned routes. Recent demonstrations were violent and involved heavy property destruction, uncontrolled looting, and attacks on police. Police responded with crowd control methods including tear gas.
In Orléans, media report significant marches and protests planned for Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25.
Curfews in parts of France, including some neighborhoods in Paris and the vicinity, might continue. Curfew decisions are made locally, can be implemented with short notice, and restrict gatherings and free movement to some public landmarks.

Unfortunately a misinformation post has spread saying this was ICE detaining someone on Metro when in fact it was good work by our officers arresting someone (w/ an extensive criminal record) who committed assault & robbery after fare evading. I appreciate our officers & partners
The individual who was shown being detained at Stadium-Armory station in videos circulating on social media was charged in connection to a robbery and assault that occurred after he fare evaded into the system. Our officers were assisted by our federal task force partners in the area who responded to the scene to help subdue the individual after he became combative during the arrest.

North Carolina, our team is closely tracking Hurricane Isaias and any impacts that may come our way. Rainfall, which could be heavy in some locations, is expected to start in the western part of the state overnight Friday. As rain moves across North Carolina Saturday and Saturday night, the greatest flash flooding threat is across portions of western NC and southeastern NC.
Make sure you have emergency alerts turned on, are paying attention to local forecasts, and visit ReadyNC.gov for emergency preparedness information.
