Thousands of migrants remain in Ceuta as Spanish intelligence says Morocco allowed border breach

Thousands of migrants remain in Ceuta after tens of thousands crossed from Morocco into the Spanish enclave. Ceuta officials acknowledged the struggle to cope, with local authorities caring for 862 migrant minors who are legally protected from deportation. Spanish intelligence reportedly concluded that Morocco allowed the border breach, though Morocco's Interior Ministry denied organizing it, attributing the surge to misinformation and a Spanish Supreme Court ruling. Ceuta's president, Juan Jesús Vivas, stated that Morocco "cannot be trusted." The incident has sparked criticism from right-wing European governments and led to an emergency EU meeting to discuss strengthening external borders.
