Roma in France sent packing back to Romania...

France has expelled nearly 100 Roma gypsies to their native Romania.

The resettlement came as part of a very public effort by conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy to dismantle Roma camps and sweep them out of the country.

In the southeastern town of Saint-Martin d'Heres, near Grenoble, about 150 riot police removed about 100 Roma adults and 45 children Thursday. Another 25 Roma were taken from their camp near Lille early on Thursday. More + video...
