The French government ordered curfews Monday night for areas and major cities that were impacted by rioting over the weekend, including parts of Paris, Nice and Lille. 

What began as a nominal protest against worsening conditions in schools last month has escalated into a general riot against the French government and a rising cost of living, resulting in the arrest of at least 2,400 people over the weekend, according to the Associated Press.

The riots come as conservatives warn the promotion of the protests were funded by left-wing donor Neville Roy Singham, whose groups were crucial to the wave of anti-Israel demonstrations in the United States after Hamas' attack on Oct. 7, 2023.

A recent Fox News investigation identified 54 organizations participating in or promoting the riots, but only 16 were student or youth groups. The other 38 consisted of adult-led communist groups, labor unions, political parties, revolutionary-left organizations, advocacy groups and international propaganda outlets.
