Spain lowers minor count in Ceuta to 1500

The number of minors identified in the city of Ceuta since the mass border crossings on July 30 has decreased from 2,168 to around 1,500 after reviewing police records and removing duplicates. This figure is considered temporary, as verification and data consolidation are still ongoing, and the number is expected to rise again. Spanish authorities are seeking solutions to manage the situation of unaccompanied minors, including transferring some to other regions and returning those who meet the criteria to their countries, in accordance with their best interests and legal frameworks. The issue of repatriating minors, especially Moroccans, remains a legal debate, with the Supreme Court emphasizing the importance of respecting legal guarantees and preventing unwarranted mass returns.
