Hundreds of illegal migrants who stormed the beaches of the Spanish exclave of Ceuta staged a protest Sunday to demand asylum.
More than 70,000 migrants, mainly from Morocco, swam and scaled border fences to reach Ceuta, which is situated on the African continent, in a matter of days last month. Most of the illegal border crossers have since returned to Africa after complaining about a lack of food and shelter in Ceuta.
Between 5,000 and 8,000 migrants remain in Ceuta, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/spains-ceuta-hundreds-migrants-stage-protest-demand-asylum-2026-08-16/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to Reuters. Most of the migrants said they left Africa to find work, which typically does not qualify as an asylum claim.
The protesting migrants carried signs reading &#8220;We don&#8217;t want to go back to Morocco&#8221; and &#8220;We ⁠are also human,&#8221; along with Spanish flags, according to Reuters. They also chanted, &#8220;We&#8217;re tired&#8221; and &#8220;We need a solution.&#8221;
&#8220;We&#8217;re sleeping next to the sea, with cold and bad ​smells. We&#8217;re suffering a lot,&#8221; one of the remaining Moroccan migrants, Ayoub Elarroud, told Reuters, adding that police blocked the new arrivals from going to the center of the city.
Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska said the migrants would not be allowed to stay in Ceuta, travel to the mainland to reach Europe, or obtain legal status, according to Reuters.
Following the mass migration event, health officials in Ceuta reported an outbreak of infectious diarrhea and scabies, along with a surge in stab wounds and other violence-related injuries, the outlet reported.
Spanish Health Minister Monica Garcia pushed back on claims that the outbreaks were tied to migrants.
&#8220;To associate migration with illness is unjust and xenophobic,&#8221; ‌she ⁠said.
Government officials are also scrambling to decide the fate of roughly 1,300 migrant minors who remain in Ceuta without their parents.
While the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/enough-is-enough-thousands-of-ceuta-residents-protest-spains-handling-of-migrant-invasion">president of Ceuta</a> argued the children should be returned, Spanish officials say they should find refuge in territories like Ceuta, EuroNews recently reported.
The border crush followed a ruling by Spain’s Supreme Court that said migrants crossing by sea cannot be immediately deported.
It also came months after Spain’s socialist Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, opened the door for more than one million migrants to receive amnesty to counteract the world’s “MAGA-style leaders,” according to The New York Times.
The program received more than double the number of applications the Spanish government had initially expected.
A week before the migrants organized a protest, the residents of Ceuta held a demonstration, with some accusing the Spanish government of &#8220;abandonment.&#8221;

Spain and Morocco have boosted security around Spain’s African enclave Ceuta following calls for another Moroccan migrant border rush, two weeks after a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/enough-is-enough-thousands-of-ceuta-residents-protest-spains-handling-of-migrant-invasion">migrant invasion</a> left at least 96 people dead.
Soldiers have been watching commercial and government buildings in Ceuta while police are patrolling main streets, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/spain-boosts-security-ceuta-calls-appear-online-another-mass-border-rush-2026-08-14/">according</a> to Reuters. Along the Moroccan border, security guards were seen on the beaches of Fnideq, one of the primary locations from which migrants illegally rushed Ceuta, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/spain-stocks-african-enclave-ceuta-boosted-security-morocco-monitors-calls-second-border-rush">reported</a>.
Morocco has arrested multiple people who circulated calls on social media for another migrant invasion into both Ceuta and Melilla, another Spanish African enclave.
“The Ministry of the Interior has detected, during the last few days, the circulation of anonymous publications and messages on certain social networks inciting the organization of attempts at collective and illegal crossing to the cities of Ceuta and Melilla, practices which carry serious risks to the safety of people and aim to instrumentalize migration issues in acts of incitement, which are criminalized by law,” the Moroccan Ministry of the Interior said in a statement, according to Fox News.
Meanwhile, Spain is still trying to remove Moroccan migrants from the first mass invasion. About 5,000 migrants are still in Spain out of the 72,000 who originally rushed Ceuta, the outlet reported.
Spain has processed about 500 asylum seekers and rejected most of their applications.
In late July, more than 70,000 migrants, mostly young men, entered Ceuta from Morocco by swimming or jumping border barriers, The Daily Wire reported. The migrants chanted “Bye Bye Morocco, hello Spain,” and video online showed one man pooping in the street. One Ceuta local described the event as an “apocalypse.”
“Businesses closed. Shops shut because if you open a business, it gets overrun. … We’re scared,” another local, a restaurant owner, said. “The streets are packed. There are no measures in place. It’s every man for himself. They’re not giving us any help.”
Earlier this year, Spain’s socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez created opportunities for one million migrants to receive amnesty. Still, Sánchez condemned the rush of migrants, saying the event “deserves our full reproach, our condemnation at the strongest possible level of rejection, condemnation, and consideration as deplorable.”
Meanwhile, Santiago Abascal of the Right-wing party Vox said Sánchez encouraged the migrant flood.
“They’re not fleeing from war or poverty. It’s an invasion,” he said. “They are military-aged men invited by Pedro Sanchez’s corrupt government to storm our borders so they can roam Spain’s streets shouting ‘Viva Pedro Sanchez.’”

After more than 70,000 African migrants crossed into the Spanish territory of Ceuta in a border surge late last month, Spaniards are decrying their government&#8217;s handling of the chaos.
Thousands of residents of the Spanish exclave gathered on Sunday in the Plaza de la Constitución, chanting &#8220;Enough is enough&#8221; and &#8220;Ceuta will not surrender,&#8221; <a href="https://www.reutersconnect.com/item/thousands-of-ceuta-residents-end-protest-outside-government-delegation/dGFnOnJldXRlcnMuY29tLDIwMjY6bmV3c21sX09XRUZWQzU1MDIxMTA3OTU4MDAx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to Reuters.

Others accused the Spanish government of &#8220;abandonment.&#8221;

Mainland Spain is just 11 miles from Ceuta, which has a population of 83,000, and is accessible by ferry.
Many of the migrants have since returned to Africa after failing to obtain documents to reach mainland Spain and complaining about the lack of food and support in Ceuta.
More than 1,300 migrant children remain in Ceuta, leaving government officials scrambling to address the issue, according to Euronews. Ceuta&#8217;s president argued the children should be returned to Morocco in what he&#8217;s characterized as an &#8220;absolutely unsustainable&#8221; situation.
All the while, the Spanish government says that the children who can&#8217;t be reunified with their families back home should find refuge and support in territories like Ceuta.
&#8220;Many of the unaccompanied migrant boys and girls do not have families, so in these cases the autonomous communities must act as their guardians and guarantee their rights,&#8221; said Sira Rego, Spain&#8217;s minister for youth and children.
The border crush came after Spain&#8217;s Supreme Court ruled that migrants crossing by sea cannot be immediately deported.
Earlier this year, Spain’s socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez opened the door for more than one million migrants to receive amnesty to counteract the world&#8217;s “MAGA-style leaders,&#8221; <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/world/europe/spain-migrants-legal-status.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The New York Times.

‘Enough Is Enough’: Thousands Of Ceuta Residents Protest Spain’s Handling Of Migrant Invasion

Roughly 1,100 unaccompanied migrant minors who rushed the beaches of the Spanish enclave of Ceuta could soon make it to mainland Spain.
The group arrived as unaccompanied minors who authorities can&#8217;t immediately deport, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/spains-ceuta-seeks-transfer-unaccompanied-migrant-minors-mainland-spain-after-2026-08-05/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to Reuters.

Now, the government of Ceuta is asking Spain&#8217;s leaders to let the minors onto the mainland.
&#8220;We are crying out for help and assistance,&#8221; Ceuta&#8217;s local government head, Juan Jesus Vivas, told Spanish broadcaster RTVE on Wednesday, according to Reuters.
Many of the migrants have returned to Africa, while the children who came alone remain in limbo, Reuters reported.
Spain’s Interior Ministry attributed the earlier influx to “a court ruling to encourage the flow of undocumented migrants, mostly young people.” Spain&#8217;s Supreme Court ruled last month that migrants crossing by sea cannot be immediately deported.
As a result, migrant entries went from a &#8220;slow trickle&#8221; to &#8220;an explosion,&#8221; a spokesman for Spain’s Guardia Civil police recently told Reuters.
Spain&#8217;s far-Left Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez also opened the door earlier this year for more than one million migrants to receive amnesty to counteract “MAGA-style leaders” around the world, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/world/europe/spain-migrants-legal-status.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The New York Times. The Spanish government received more than double the number of applications it initially expected.
With reception centers full, many of the migrant minors still left in Ceuta are sleeping in the streets and inside warehouses, according to Reuters.
In 2025, Spain implemented a reform to its immigration law dictating that unaccompanied migrant minors must be redistributed from territories overwhelmed with migrants within 15 days of the completion of their case file, the outlet reported.
The Spanish government approved $29 million in aid for Ceuta&#8217;s migrant minors.
&#8220;Inter-territorial solidarity is necessary so these minors end up in other locations where they will be better off,&#8221; Miguel Angel Perez, government representative in Ceuta, said on Wednesday. &#8220;The law must be upheld.&#8221;
Conservative leaders in Europe have taken actions to punish Spain for its handling of illegal immigration since the latest surge. Italy recently suspended passport-free travel with Spain for a month after Ceuta&#8217;s latest mass migration incident.

The Flow Of Migrants Entering Ceuta Has Come To A Halt, Whilst The Police And The Army Are Trying To Redirect Those Remaining Back To The Border

More than 1,000 African Migrants Who Stormed Ceuta Could Soon Be Moved To Mainland Spain

Thousands of migrants remain in Ceuta, Spain, on Monday, with hundreds <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/world/europe/spains-ceuta-overwhelmed-thousands-remain-migrant-border-rush-rcna590549">camping</a> on a beach after last week’s border rush from Morocco overwhelmed the city.
Spanish officials say about 69,500 people have gone back to Morocco in the last four days. That is higher than the first estimates of roughly 50,000 who crossed into Ceuta on Thursday, according to NBC News. The death toll stands at 83 as of Monday.
Many of the migrants who left the city said they turned back after shops closed and left them without food. The migrants also said that they faced hostility from local residents.
Footage from El Trampolin beach shows dozens of migrants, most from south of the Sahara, lying on the sand. Some had wrapped themselves in towels to protect themselves from the wind as army and police vehicles moved along the road behind them.
Ceuta leader Juan Jesus Vivas told Telecinco that 3,000 to 5,000 migrants remain in the territory. He said both reception centers, one for adults and one for minors, had “collapsed.” Official Alberto Gaitan said the city is processing 862 migrant minors who have special legal protections against deportation.
The situation has sharpened tensions inside the European Union over border policy. Spain has accused some its neighbors of failing to help and only offering polarizing responses. Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares noted Monday that Spain had previously supported other E.U. countries during migration crises and now expected the same in return. 
Vivas, however, blamed Morocco. He told El Pais there was a widespread perception in Ceuta that Morocco had allowed, if not orchestrated, the crisis. 
“Morocco has shown us that it isn’t reliable. There’s no alternative but to put in place whatever means are necessary to ensure it cannot do this again,” Vivas said.
Morocco’s Interior Ministry on Sunday blamed the surge on misinformation circulating on social media, human trafficking networks, and a misinterpretation of a Spanish court ruling that bans the immediate deportation of migrants intercepted at sea. That explanation also aligned with Madrid’s official position.
Morocco’s Interior Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment, NBC News reported. In its Sunday statement, it said the country remains “committed to strengthening international cooperation and coordination in combating irregular migration and human trafficking.”
Spain’s Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska told reporters on Saturday that the foreign intelligence agency CNI, which is controlled by the Defense Ministry, had not warned him of an imminent surge. El Pais reported Monday that the lack of warning created tensions between the two ministries. 
An Interior Ministry spokesman downplayed those reported tensions. Defense Minister Margarita Robles declined to say whether the CNI had any prior intelligence of the mass crossing, citing the secret nature of its work while praising the “exceptional” performance of Spanish security personnel.
President Donald <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-migrant-invasion-of-spanish-territory-will-be-a-midterm-talking-point">Trump</a> said Friday the Ceuta events would be a midterm talking point, describing them as looking “like an invasion of a country by hundreds of thousands of people” and warning the United States would face worse if Republicans don&#8217;t win upcoming elections. Vice President JD Vance called the images “an unfortunate reminder of the consequences of mass migration.” The State Department said the U.S. stands with the people of Spain against “this egregious violation of their sovereignty and human rights.”

Even After Major Exodus, Thousands Of Migrant Invaders Still Overwhelm Spanish City

European Union

The mass migration event taking place in Ceuta, Spain, is a result of multiple push and pull factors that enticed thousands to make the swim from Morocco this week.
Between Thursday and Friday, an estimated <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-issues-grim-warning-for-america-as-europe-reels-from-massive-migrant-invasion?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Trump+Issues+Grim+Warning+For+America+As+Europe+Reels+From+Massive+Migrant+Invasion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">60,000 migrants</a>, mainly young men from Morocco, swam around or scaled border fences to reach nearby Ceuta, a Spanish territory of roughly 83,000 residents that sits on the African continent. As of publication, nearly three dozen people are dead, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07/31/world/spain-ceuta-migrants-morocco" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The New York Times.
For days leading up to the surge, a steady flow of hundreds of migrants entered the Spanish enclave, which is located 11 miles from mainland Spain and can be accessed via ferry.
Spain&#8217;s Interior Ministry in a Thursday <a href="https://www.interior.gob.es/opencms/es/detalle/articulo/Comunicado-sobre-la-situacion-en-la-ciudad-autonoma-de-Ceuta/">statement</a> attributed the earlier influx to &#8220;a court ruling to encourage the flow of undocumented migrants, mostly young people.&#8221;
Earlier this month, Spain’s Supreme Court ruled that migrants crossing by sea cannot be immediately deported.
“It has been a slow trickle since the Supreme Court’s ruling, but today has been an explosion,” a spokesman for Spain’s Guardia Civil police told Reuters Thursday.
Earlier this year, Spain&#8217;s far-left Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez allowed more than one million migrants to receive amnesty in an effort to counteract &#8220;MAGA-style leaders&#8221; shutting the doors to illegal immigration, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/world/europe/spain-migrants-legal-status.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The New York Times. The total number of applications was more than double what the government initially expected.
&#8220;What should we do with these people? Some leaders have chosen to hunt them down and deport them through operations that are both unlawful and cruel. My government has chosen a different way: a fast and simple path to regularize their immigration status,&#8221; Sánchez <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/opinion/spain-migrants-europe.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in a New York Times op-ed in February.
&#8220;MAGA-style leaders may say that our country can’t handle taking in so many migrants — that this is a suicidal move, the desperate act of a collapsing country. But don’t let them fool you. Spain is booming,&#8221; he wrote.
Sánchez traveled to Ceuta on Friday after deploying the Spanish military to quell the ongoing chaos. His government has so far refused to make an emergency declaration, as requested by the local government in Ceuta, since Spain&#8217;s civil protection procedures don&#8217;t consider migration flows a risk to national security, the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/spain-ceuta-tarajal-morocco-migrants-5c864e5f951e2a7cf7a3eac417668e97" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
During his visit, Sánchez pledged to start removing some of the migrants and fortifying the maritime border.
&#8220;The Government will guarantee the safety of the residents of Ceuta, intensifying the presence of the Security Forces and Corps on the city&#8217;s streets. Additionally, we will deploy a physical containment barrier in the sea to facilitate repatriation at the border, in compliance with the Supreme Court ruling,&#8221; Sánchez said.
&#8220;We will expedite the repatriation files of the migrants who arrived irregularly. And we will maintain cooperation with the Moroccan authorities to continue fighting against the mafias that traffic in human beings,&#8221; he added.

On the Moroccan side, authorities clashed overnight with migrants making their way to Ceuta, deploying tear gas and water cannons. In the streets, vehicles were set ablaze amid the chaos.
But some migrants say that authorities in Morocco are helping facilitate their movement.
Moroccan national Ajoub el-Arrot, 24, who entered Ceuta, Spain, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07/31/world/spain-ceuta-migrants-morocco" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The New York Times that Moroccan authorities &#8220;opened the border and let everyone go by,&#8221; adding, “I don’t know why they let us through.&#8221;
Migrants are continuing to flock to nearby Fnideq, Morocco, which has become a launching point for those making the trek to Ceuta.
Tensions in Ceuta remain high as migrants who have not eaten in days scour the town for food, as local officials say there&#8217;s no plan to feed or shelter the new arrivals. Some of the migrants have already chosen to turn around because they&#8217;re not getting any food as grocery stores shut their doors to them.

President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to the American people Friday, saying there could be a similar &#8220;invasion&#8221; of U.S. borders if Republicans lose in the upcoming midterms.
&#8220;If we&#8217;re not in office, our country will be invaded at levels that made Spain look small time,&#8221; Trump said during a Cabinet meeting at Camp David.

Hundreds of migrants reach Spain’s Ceuta after swimming from Morocco

Why Did Nearly 60,000 African Migrants Storm Spain’s Beaches?

French President Emmanuel Macron said Friday he has ordered the deployment of four units of mobile forces, along with aircraft and drones, to strengthen controls at France’s border with Spain in response to the migrant situation in the Spanish territory of Ceuta.
In a post on X, Macron <a href="https://x.com/emmanuelmacron/status/2083223378031239204?s=46">wrote</a> that he had been in contact with the leader of the Spanish government “to express our solidarity and offer any necessary assistance, including through Frontex.”
He cited ongoing cooperation with Morocco, which he said “has already enabled more than 40,000 returns from Ceuta to Morocco today.” Interior ministers from both countries were in contact “to ensure close monitoring of the situation.”
Macron noted that Ceuta does not benefit from freedom of movement to the rest of the Schengen Area. “However, as of yesterday, I asked the Interior Minister to strengthen controls at our border with Spain if necessary: 4 units of mobile forces, aircraft, and drones have been deployed.”
These steps, he said, reinforce arrangements France has taken since 2020 to protect its border with Spain through joint brigades and concerted action against illegal immigration.
 They also complement European instruments for returns and the asylum and migration pact. Macron cited a 25% drop in irregular flows to the European Union last year and a decline on the Atlantic and western Mediterranean routes in 2026.
“Solidarity and responsibility with our European partners to enforce our rules of firmness on returns and the protection of the Union’s external borders,” he wrote. “I reiterate here our solidarity with Spain, its government, and its people.”
The announcement comes after nearly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/34-dead-after-tens-of-thousands-of-migrants-invade-spain">60,000 migrants</a> entered Ceuta from Morocco since Thursday. At least 57 people have <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/spain-morocco-halt-deadly-rush-spanish-enclave-after-49000-cross-day-2026-07-31/">died</a>, many from drowning as they tried to swim into the territory and others from being trampled as crowds broke down gates and overwhelmed Spanish border officials. Most of those who crossed appeared to be young Muslim men.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said his government was “fully committed to providing an immediate response to the situation in Ceuta” and was mobilizing resources while working with Moroccan and international authorities. Later, he called the events something that “deserves our full reproach, our condemnation at the strongest possible level of rejection, condemnation, and consideration as deplorable.”
The influx followed a Spanish Supreme Court ruling that migrants crossing by sea cannot be immediately deported. Migrants were reportedly heard chanting “Bye Bye Morocco, hello Spain” and “<a href="https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/2083230305956077662">Allahu akbar</a>” as they pushed past officials.
 Locals described closed businesses, packed streets, and fear. One restaurant owner said it was “every man for himself.” Another called the scene an “apocalypse.”
Santiago Abascal of Spain’s Vox party described the arrivals as an invasion of military-aged men. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said Italy was taking extraordinary measures, including the possible suspension of the Schengen Area with Spain, calling uncontrolled illegal immigration a concrete threat to Europe’s borders.
 European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen labeled the situation “unacceptable” and said dangerous crossings must stop, smuggling networks must be dismantled, and returns must be swift.
President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-migrant-invasion-of-spanish-territory-will-be-a-midterm-talking-point">said</a> Friday the events in Spain would feature in Republican midterm messaging. Speaking from Camp David, he described it as looking “like an invasion of a country by hundreds of thousands of people” and warned that the same thing would happen to the United States on a larger scale if Republicans are not elected.
 “If we’re not in office, our country will be invaded at levels that made Spain look small time,” Trump said. He had told Fox News earlier Friday to “remember that picture,” adding that it would be the United States in three years “if the wrong side gets in.”
Vice President JD Vance called the images “an unfortunate reminder of the consequences of mass migration and the radical left-wing globalist policies that have enabled the Invasion of the West.” 
The State Department said the United States stands with the people of Spain against “this egregious violation of their sovereignty and human rights” and described the incident as the result of Spanish government efforts that enabled mass illegal migration.
Macron’s deployment of the four mobile forces, aircraft, and drones is the clearest French operational response so far to the pressure building at the Spanish border.

Surrounded by a horde of Moroccan migrant men shouting and pushing, Ceuta resident Rocio cried out for help from the Spanish government, which she said has been missing in action amid the influx. Between Thursday and Friday, roughly 60,000 migrants, mainly young men, swam or scaled border fences into Ceuta, which sits on the African continent.
Nearly three dozen people are dead, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07/31/world/spain-ceuta-migrants-morocco" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The New York Times.
&#8220;We are afraid. We cannot condone this. Where are our rights as Spaniards? Where are our principles as Spaniards? &#8230; They need to fortify this city. We need police on the streets, the civil guard on the streets, we need the military on the streets. They&#8217;re not there; we&#8217;re alone. We cannot call the police or the civil guard because they can&#8217;t keep up. We need urgent help,&#8221; Rocio said during a televised interview.
She went on to call the situation an &#8220;invasion&#8221; as she broke down in tears. That was when the migrant men standing behind her began shouting.
&#8220;This is really outrageous. I am surrounded, I&#8217;m afraid. How can I not be afraid? I even feel like crying. This can&#8217;t go on, this can&#8217;t go on, really. This can&#8217;t go on; we need help. The thing is, I&#8217;m shaking. Really, this has to be lived through. You have to live through this as a woman. You have to live through this as a woman,&#8221; Rocio said.
&#8220;You have to live through this to understand it,&#8221; she said. &#8220;This is an invasion. They&#8217;ve started with Ceuta, but this is the border to Spain, the border to Europe. Today it was Melilla, tomorrow it will be the Canary Islands. The day after, it will be Tarifa.&#8221;
At the end of the interview, the reporter remarked that the migrant group closing in behind them couldn&#8217;t be kept away or controlled.
&#8220;They&#8217;ve started approaching us. I am asking them to stay away, but there&#8217;s no way,&#8221; the reporter said. The men then clapped but didn&#8217;t appear to understand what the women had said.

Spain’s far-left Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, who is set to give amnesty to one million migrants this year, traveled to Ceuta on Friday after deploying the Spanish military to control the melee.
Sánchez vowed to deport some of the migrants.
Earlier this month, however, Spain’s Supreme Court ruled that migrants who enter by sea cannot be immediately expelled.
“The Government will guarantee the safety of the residents of Ceuta, intensifying the presence of the Security Forces and Corps on the city’s streets. Additionally, we will deploy a physical containment barrier in the sea to facilitate repatriation at the border, in compliance with the Supreme Court ruling,” Sánchez said.
After complaining they had not eaten in days and could not find food in Ceuta, thousands of the new arrivals began making the journey back to Morocco on Friday.

Terrified Spanish Woman Cries Out For Help Over Migrant Invasion

A wave of migrant workers, tens of thousands strong, crossing the border, flooding the country, a Muslim invasion, taking over major cities, serving as the foundation for anti-Western sentiment and social collapse, a Left-wing government welcoming all of it in the name of both virtue signaling and political gain.
We&#8217;re not talking about America — yet.
We&#8217;re talking about Spain. But the current migrant crisis plaguing Spain could come to America much sooner than you think. The seeds have already been planted.
Remember when President Joe Biden opened our southern border and let in millions of illegal immigrants? Do you remember the time that radical Muslims began flexing political power in big cities in America, ranging from Dearborn, Michigan to New York City?
That&#8217;s just the beginning.
How do we know? Because we are watching the Avengers-style crossover of these two phenomena.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ben-shapiro-show-ep-2476?elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowHeadline=Recent+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-981859" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/ben-banner.avif" alt="" width="1024" height="171" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/ben-banner.avif 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/ben-banner-300x50.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/ben-banner-768x128.jpg 768w" sizes=" (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a>
Mass migration and Muslim invasion are playing out in Spain right now. That will come to America, too, if the Left has its way.
On Thursday, unbelievable video started pouring out of a place called Ceuta, an autonomous city that’s part of Spain and physically located across the Strait of Gibraltar in Africa, bordering Morocco.
According to the Associated Press, at least 60,000 people crossed into Ceuta. The total permanent population of Ceuta is 84,000 people, so the population essentially doubled overnight.
They were mostly all young males.
The police looked on as swimmers climbed the barriers and attempted to enter the country.
Why exactly is all of this happening? Two reasons. One comes courtesy of the horrifyingly corrupt and terrible Spanish prime minister, a man named Pedro Sanchez. You might remember him from lots of tape of him ripping President Trump, or siding with Iran or Venezuela or Palestinians.
The other comes courtesy of the Supreme Court of the country.
First, the president. Back in April, according to the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy511nln2xvo">BBC</a>, “Spain&#8217;s government approved plans to give legal status to half a million undocumented migrants, allowing them to be integrated formally into the workforce.”
A bunch of people legally moved to Spain, and the Spanish government decided to legalize them and grant them mass amnesty.
The BBC continued:
<blockquote>Prime Minister Sanchez describes his government&#8217;s decision as both an “act of justice” and a necessity for Spain. &#8230; The government&#8217;s plan will offer a one-year renewable residence permit to undocumented migrants. In order to be eligible, applicants had to prove they&#8217;ve already spent five months living in Spain and have a clean criminal record. They have between 16 April and the end of June to apply.
Sanchez said migrants helped “build the rich, open and diverse Spain that we are and to which we aspire. The Prime Minister said these migrants are needed to sustain the economy and public services in a country whose population is aging.</blockquote>
Spain has a massive demographic crisis. The replacement rate in Spain is 1.12.
The BBC added, “He also said it was the right course of action for a nation which in the past had seen many of its own nationals emigrate in search of better opportunities.
The idea is that Western civilization is fundamentally flawed, and somehow Spain owes it to millions of people from Africa to get in.
More than 1 million people applied for mass amnesty in June.
What did Pedro Sanchez say? He said, &#8220;That&#8217;s great; we want more.&#8221;
In February 2026, Sanchez wrote an <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/opinion/spain-migrants-europe.html">opinion piece</a> in the New York Times titled, “I’m the Prime Minister of Spain. This Is Why the West Needs Migrants.” He wrote:
<blockquote>MAGA-style leaders may say that our country can’t handle taking in so many migrants — that this is a suicidal move, the desperate act of a collapsing country. But don’t let them fool you. Spain is booming.</blockquote>
It is not.
<blockquote>We, as Western nations, must choose between becoming closed and impoverished societies or open and prosperous ones. Growth or retreat: Those are the two options before us. And by growth, I’m not talking only about material gain, but also our spiritual development.</blockquote>
Spiritual development? You have to bring in vast swathes of Muslim migrants for the spiritual development of your Left-wing country?
Sanchez continued, “Governments can buy into the zero-sum thinking of the far-Right and retreat into isolation, scarcity, selfishness, and decline. Or they can harness the very same forces that, not without difficulties, have allowed our societies to thrive for centuries.”
He wasn’t even arguing in favor of an increasingly capitalist libertarian economy. He is a full-scale Left-wing socialist.
In January 2026, he said, “Some say we&#8217;ve gone too far that we&#8217;re going against the current. But I would like to ask you. When did recognizing rights become something radical? When did empathy become something exceptional? Spain is above all, a welcoming country and this is the path we choose: dignity, community, and justice.”
So many nice words for legalizing mass migration, importing literally millions of radical Muslims onto your soil — and also trying to cover up your own corruption. That’s because one reason Sanchez is doing this is that his administration has been plagued by massive corruption.
Sanchez is not particularly popular right now. He&#8217;s doing very poorly in the polls. He&#8217;s relying on knee-jerk anti-Westernism and radical anti-Americanism.
He openly allied with Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela; during the Iran war, he has pretty much openly allied with Tehran. He&#8217;s openly allied with the Palestinian Authority and Hamas.
And then the Supreme Court of Spain delivered an asinine decision in July, essentially ruling that if you arrived across the border, you could do what the United States would basically do if you arrived at the southern border right now: immediately be turned back.
But — according to the Spanish Supreme Court, that did not apply to anyone who arrives by sea. So if you were in a boat or if you swam, you could not be thrown back into Morocco.
But of course, these are nice Westernized people who just want to be part of Western civilization.
Or alternatively, many of them are radicalized Muslims, and some of them were yelling “Allahu Akbar” as they came in.
How did the Spanish government respond to all of this? According to Reuters, the government said that it would send 200 specialized police officers and 60 troops to reinforce Ceuta’s regular forces. There are roughly 1500 active police officers operating in Ceuta right now. That would bring the total to 1700 police officers and 60 troops to handle 60,000 migrants.
This is not just a mass-migration threat; it is a mass-migration threat of a particular ideology. According to many Muslims, including all radical Muslims, Spain remains part of Dar al-Islam, under which rubric a land once conquered by Muslims is theirs forever.
In the last three decades, Spain&#8217;s Muslim population has grown from roughly 250,000 in the early 1990s to 2.5 million people. One million Muslims now hold Spanish citizenship. Most of them come from Morocco, but there are also communities coming from Pakistan, Senegal, Algeria, and Bangladesh, and they are heavily located in certain regions like Catalonia, Andalusia, Madrid, and the Valencian Community.
The reproduction rate among Muslims is about three times that among Spanish natives. About 11% of all babies born in Spain are to a Muslim parent.
What you have seen is a gigantic expansion of Muslim presence on Spanish soil.
Spain looks like what our future could be.
This is why it is quite important that President Trump governs well and Republicans run a good candidate in 2028 because if they don&#8217;t, we could easily see a Democratic president with a Democratic Congress and a Democratic Senate poised to shove America far to the Left, perhaps permanently.
And if that happens, it’s all over.

Western Civilization

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump predicted Friday that the &#8220;catastrophic&#8221; invasion of Spain by around 50,000 African migrants will feature strongly in Republican midterm messaging.
&#8220;It looks like an invasion of a country by hundreds of thousands of people,&#8221; the president said from Camp David, during the first televised cabinet meeting in that location in United States history.
&#8220;And that same thing will happen to us if the Republicans don’t get elected, except worse,&#8221; Trump noted. &#8220;Much bigger &#8230; If we’re not in office, our country will be invaded at levels that made Spain look small time.&#8221;
Later on, the president added, &#8220;They say that will be a talking point for the midterms because when you look at what happened to Spain, they don’t know what to do. It is happening again today. Coming in by the tens of thousands. They are just invading the country.&#8221;
The president was reacting to shocking footage from the Spanish territory of Ceuta where thousands of African migrants swam to the shore, some using inflatable inner tubes, before marching down the beach to Cueta&#8217;s towns and villages. Video footage shows that these migrants are mostly young men. The massive breach of the border came after Spain&#8217;s Supreme Court ruled earlier in July that migrants who cross by sea cannot be deported, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dramatic-video-shows-thousands-of-african-migrants-storming-spains-border?author=Jennie+Taer&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Dramatic+Video+Shows+Thousands+Of+African+Migrants+Storming+Spain%E2%80%99s+Border">as The Daily Wire previously reported</a>.
“It has been a slow trickle since the Supreme Court’s ruling, but today has been an explosion,” a spokesman for Spain’s Guardia Civil police <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/thousands-migrants-cross-into-spains-ceuta-foot-efe-reports-2026-07-30/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said this week.</a>

The dramatic situation unfolding across the Atlantic will &#8220;look good&#8221; compared to what will happen to the United States if Republicans are not elected into office, the president emphasized.
On Friday morning, speaking by phone to Fox News White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, Trump told Americans to &#8220;remember that picture.&#8221;
&#8220;That’s going to be us in three years if the wrong side gets in,” he added. &#8220;If the Democrats get in, you will not live a very good life.&#8221;

Vice President JD Vance said the images out of Spain were &#8220;an unfortunate reminder of the consequences of mass migration and the radical left-wing globalist policies that have enabled the Invasion of the West,&#8221; adding, &#8220;Thank God POTUS was elected and our country&#8217;s border no longer looks like this.&#8221; 
The vice president pointed to commentary from Fox News&#8217;s Bill Melugin, who expressed horror at the number of young men who were rushing across the border.
&#8220;Just look here, do you see any women or children?&#8221; Melugin asked in his coverage. &#8220;I mean most people would call these folks so-called asylum seekers. These are young guys just flooding into the country and overwhelming what, if any, border there is.&#8221;
The State Department weighed in on the matter Friday morning, saying in a statement: &#8220;The United States stands with the people of Spain, and all Europeans, against this egregious violation of their sovereignty and human rights.&#8221;
&#8220;This unacceptable incident is the direct result of the Spanish Government&#8217;s deliberate efforts to enable and facilitate mass illegal migration into Europe,&#8221; the State Department added. &#8220;We are considering actions to defend Americans at home and abroad from this threat and stand ready to assist other European allies considering similar options.&#8221;

TRUMP: Migrant Invasion Of Spanish Territory Will Be A Midterm Talking Point

Donald Trump

Illegal Immigation

The Trump administration on Friday condemned Spain&#8217;s immigration policies and weighed possible retaliation after tens of thousands of migrants stormed across the Moroccan border into the Spanish territory of Ceuta. 
In a statement, the <a href="https://x.com/StateDept/status/2083197495119626476?s=20">U.S. State Department</a> accused Spain&#8217;s leftist government of facilitating mass illegal immigration, saying its policies fueled the chaos that spiraled into hours of anarchy and left dozens of migrants dead.
“The United States stands with the people of Spain, and all Europeans, against this egregious violation of their sovereignty and human rights,” the State Department said. “This unacceptable incident is the direct result of the Spanish Government&#8217;s deliberate efforts to enable and facilitate mass illegal migration into Europe.”
“We are considering actions to defend Americans at home and abroad from this threat and stand ready to assist other European allies considering similar options,” the federal agency added. 
In damage control, Spain&#8217;s Ministry of the Interior said more than 25,000 migrants have been deported back to Morocco, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/spain-ceuta-morocco-migrants-border-crossings/">according to CBS News</a>. The leftist government also claimed authorities were removing roughly 150 migrants per minute. 
The Daily Wire could not independently verify those figures.
Earlier on Friday, President Trump weighed in on the controversy, which had sparked an international outcry, warning Americans that similar scenes could unfold in the United States if the balance of power shifted.
“It’s terrible. Remember that picture. That’s going to be us in three years if the wrong side gets in,” Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-issues-grim-warning-for-america-as-europe-reels-from-massive-migrant-invasion?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Trump+Issues+Grim+Warning+For+America+As+Europe+Reels+From+Massive+Migrant+Invasion">said</a> during a phone interview with Fox News. “If the Democrats get in, you will not live a very good life.”
On social media, the White House echoed Trump&#8217;s argument, <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/2083199361316524348?s=20">posting a video</a> of a seemingly quiet and secure U.S.-Mexico southern border.
&#8220;While hordes of Third World migrants storm Spain&#8217;s territory, the United States&#8217; borders are locked down at levels never seen before. President Trump inherited a similar invasion to what Spain is facing, and he stopped it on Day One,&#8221; an official White House page posted on X.
Trump’s comments came after around 50,000 migrants rushed across the border into Ceuta, a Spanish territory on the tip of Morocco, bringing widespread chaos and unrest. At least <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/34-dead-after-tens-of-thousands-of-migrants-invade-spain">34 people died</a> as thousands of migrants, mostly young men, attempted to swim or force their way into Ceuta. 
The brazen invasion appeared almost seamless, with migrants encountering virtually no resistance. One military-aged man went viral on social media after recording himself with a <a href="https://x.com/visegrad24/status/2083138726314594810?s=20">selfie stick as he swam</a> to Ceuta to illegally enter Spain.
The migrants, emboldened by the lax immigration policies of leftist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, brought chaos to the streets of Ceuta, causing fear among locals who were overwhelmed by the flood. 
Migrant Ajoub el-Arrot <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07/31/world/spain-ceuta-migrants-morocco">told</a> The New York Times that he was surprised at the lack of resistance. 
“I don’t know why they let us through. Maybe they had some political reason,” he said. “They opened the border and let everyone go by.”

President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to the country after tens of thousands of African migrants stormed across the Moroccan border into the Spanish territory of Ceuta on Thursday. 
“It’s terrible. Remember that picture. That’s going to be us in three years if the wrong side gets in,” Trump <a href="https://x.com/JacquiHeinrich/status/2083161441268297975">said</a> during a phone interview with Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich on Friday morning. “If the Democrats get in, you will not live a very good life.”
Trump&#8217;s comments came after almost 50,000 migrants rushed across the border into Ceuta, a Spanish territory on the tip of Morocco, bringing widespread chaos and unrest. At least <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/34-dead-after-tens-of-thousands-of-migrants-invade-spain">34 people died</a> as thousands of migrants, mostly young men, attempted to swim or force their way into Ceuta. 
The migrants, emboldened by the lax immigration policies of leftist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, brought chaos to the streets of Ceuta, causing fear among locals who were overwhelmed by the flood. 
The images were reminiscent of <a href="https://x.com/JennieSTaer/status/1770886341879885952">video</a> captured during the Biden administration of a large mob of young men breaking down razor wire and fencing to storm past Texas National Guard troops stationed in El Paso. Over seven million illegal immigrants from all over the world crossed the United States border during President Joe Biden’s presidency. 
Many other Republicans echoed Trump’s comments in response to the scenes of chaos from Spain. 
“The Democrats did this to America every single day for 4 years under Biden and will do it again instantaneously, but orders of magnitude greater, if they are given any form of national power. Democrats will see your home trampled and stolen by invaders and they will rejoice,” White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller said.

“This is what the defund ICE Democrats (even in Arkansas, Dems are openly campaigning on defunding ICE) see as a model,” said Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR). “They see open borders as a tool to import the third-world and fundamentally change America.”
“What&#8217;s happening in Spain should be a warning to every American who may have forgotten about what our borders looked like the last time Democrats were in power: All it takes is one election for your nation to become unrecognizable,” said Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX).
