Ceuta minors face legal and real-world challenges
Moroccan authorities announced that Minister of Justice and Liberties, Abdel Latif Wehbi, demanded that Spain repatriate Moroccan minors who migrated illegally. He emphasized that these children have rights that must be respected, despite the continued presence of over a thousand unaccompanied children and adolescents in Ceuta. Reports indicated that Spain attempted in 2021 to send back Moroccan children through operations that were later halted by the Supreme Court, which deemed them illegal because they did not consider the children's best interests during the return processes and failed to hear their voices. Data suggests that laws protecting unaccompanied minors prohibit deportation or expulsion without an individual assessment and impose strict standards for care, although there are gaps in their enforcement—particularly within the European Union—where children face unacceptable practices such as detention and overcrowding in shelters.
