Moroccan Police Arrest 111 in Crackdown on New Ceuta Border Push

Moroccan authorities arrested 111 people on Saturday as they attempted to cross into Ceuta, Spain’s North African territory. The arrests come after social media posts urged another mass border crossing. The incident follows a surge two weeks ago, when over 72,000 migrants entered Ceuta. That event sparked tensions within the European Union and fueled anti-immigration rhetoric from far-right groups globally. At least 96 people died during that attempt to reach European soil. Security has been tightened on both sides of the border in response to the latest calls for a crossing. The arrested individuals were stopped before they could enter the Spanish enclave.
