Spain Deploys Military to Ceuta After 49,000 Migrants Cross
Spain and Morocco agreed to accelerate repatriations as authorities said about 50,000 migrants crossed into Ceuta and half had already returned, officials said.
- At least 41 migrants died and tens of thousands entered the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta following a massive border breach from Morocco.
- Most of the fatalities occurred near Tarajal beach, where victims drowned or were crushed in stampedes while attempting to swim around breakwater barriers.

- Spanish officials attributed the sudden influx partly to human trafficking networks exploiting a recent Supreme Court ruling that limits the immediate return of migrants intercepted at sea.
- The incident triggered wider political and diplomatic reactions across Europe, drawing calls for emergency border measures and sparking debate over EU migration security.

POLITICS: The overwhelming migrant blitz on Spain shatters globalist fiction and proves over leaders have abandoned sovereign borders
Can we say “invasion” now? What other word is there for the rough intrusion of tens of thousands of young men into the sovereign territory of a foreign nation? Surely not even the sappiest leftist in his tattered keffiyeh and “Refugees Welcome” T-shirt would describe the thuggish gatecrashing of an independent nation as “asylum seeking.” That might be the one and only upside to the extraordinary events in Ceuta this week: the death, at last, of …
