Thousands of Migrants Cross Into Spain's Ceuta, Overwhelming Border Security
Thousands of migrants, mainly Moroccans and some Algerians, have recently crossed into Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta, overwhelming border security and reception centers. Many entered by swimming across the sea or scaling border fences, prompting local officials to request a national emergency declaration and army deployment. Spain's interior ministry rejected the emergency call, citing legal limits on migration-related emergencies, but affirmed efforts to ensure border security and citizen safety. The surge recalls a similar 2021 crisis and follows a recent Spanish Supreme Court ruling affecting migrant returns.
