Police in South Africa fire rubber bullets and use stun grenades during clashes with migrants protesting at a deportation processing site, where thousands have gathered near a community hall. Multiple outlets report that the confrontations occur as migrants resist being processed for deportation, prompting a heavy police response. The protests take place in the area where large numbers of people are being processed, and the incident involves police crowd-control measures, including non-lethal munitions such as rubber bullets and the deployment of stun grenades. Reports describe the event as a disruption to operations at the site due to the scale of the gathering and the ensuing unrest between protesters and law enforcement. While the coverage focuses on the use of force and the location—near a community hall used for processing—details such as the number of injuries, arrests, or the specific authority overseeing the deportation processing are not provided in the supplied excerpts. The coverage is consistent in describing a protest-driven confrontation between migrants and police at the deportation site.
