French police have arrested 14 people protesting the presence of a migrant camp in Calais after they blocked bridges and set fire to tires, calling for foreigners to go home.

The protesters calling themselves Generation Identitaire — or "Identity Generation" — gathered early Saturday, carrying banners saying "Go Home" and "No Way." A press release from the group said they took over bridges "that allowed migrants to access the city of Calais."

Calais has become a bottleneck for migrants hoping to cross the English Channel to Britain. Thousands of people have gathered in a refugee camp known as "the Jungle" for its abysmal living conditions. Several other, smaller camps also exist along the northern French coast.

On Friday, security forces in Calais detained five men dressed as police officers who were suspected of attacking migrants.

Also Friday, Macedonia's president said his country has been forced to pay for the actions of the European Union in the current migrant crisis, costing the nation $28 million so far.
