Spain Expels Moroccan Migrants Amid Local Backlash in Ceuta
Spanish authorities are deporting Moroccan migrants as tensions rise in Ceuta due to fears of an uncontrolled influx.
On August 1, 2026, Spanish soldiers began rounding up Moroccan migrants in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave bordering Morocco. The action follows local resistance against what residents and officials describe as an "invasion" of migrants seeking to remain in the territory. Spanish authorities have initiated deportation procedures to manage the migrant population amid public opposition within Ceuta.
