PARIS—French police are being deployed to keep order among the young migrants pushing barriers at Calais’ makeshift camp.

Dozens of migrants jumped over railings Tuesday in an attempt to get to the camp’s temporary processing center, the first step to being relocated in France.

Most identified themselves as unaccompanied minors with relatives across the English Channel in the U.K. They had made their way to the gates in the port city very early in the morning.
