Ceuta boosts security amid border breach threats
Security Reinforcements in Ceuta After New Calls to Storm the Border Spain has expanded its police and military presence in the city following renewed calls to breach the border, as part of efforts to prevent a repeat of the large influx of migrants that occurred two weeks ago and resulted in the deaths of many people. On Friday night, uniformed soldiers stood guard to protect public buildings and shops, while security vehicles conducted intensive patrols through the streets. On the Moroccan side, security personnel dressed in black monitored the beach in Fnideq, where many migrants attempted to cross the maritime barrier, leading to the deaths of 96 people and the entry of over 72,000 individuals into Ceuta, according to the Spanish government. Spain has built maritime barriers and dispatched hundreds of forces to bolster control measures. The government confirmed that those who entered illegally will not be permitted to stay or travel to the mainland, with ongoing asylum application reviews—most of which are being rejected—and a commitment to return those who are not authorized to remain in the city back to Morocco.
