Moroccan authorities deport 1,500 migrants

During the past ten days, the authorities in northern Morocco have deported approximately 1,500 irregular migrants, focusing mainly on young Moroccans as well as around 60 individuals from sub-Saharan African countries. These operations are part of ongoing efforts to combat trafficking across the region's ports, especially toward the occupied city of Ceuta, where between 150 and 200 people are stopped daily at checkpoints and surveillance points along the coast and the central strip. These measures have coincided with an increase in deportations that began in late July and early August, with more than 60,000 individuals being returned to southern and eastern regions. This surge occurs as criminal trafficking networks face legal measures in Spain that prevent automatic deportation, prompting more collective attempts at crossing. The end of the summer holidays and the upcoming school season are expected to reduce migrants' movements, making it easier for authorities to monitor and control their activities.
