Spain deploys forces in Ceuta after migrant surge
The authorities of the Spanish city of Ceuta are calling on the central government in Madrid to declare a national emergency and deploy the military at the border after thousands of migrants crossed into the Spanish enclave, mostly Moroccans, via the beach and routes leading to the city. Videos showed large crowds, including families and children, with some people shouting "Long live Spain." The crossing attempts are increasing, especially by swimming, amid pressure on migrant reception centers, which have become full, leading hundreds of migrants to sleep in the streets. Ceuta’s Prime Minister, Juan Jesús Vivas, emphasized the need to declare a state of emergency for national security purposes to enhance security presence and establish tighter control over the borders.
