Spanish troops were eventually deployed to the streets of Ceuta after thousands of Moroccan migrants stormed the exclave on Thursday.
The Spanish territory, which borders Morocco in North Africa, was inundated with arrivals who overwhelmed police.
At least nine people have died trying to reach the exclave, Spanish authorities said.
Footage showed migrants swimming towards a crowded shore, while thousands more stormed through border gates, completely overwhelming the few border guards on duty.
While the land border is protected by a 10m-high security fence and is heavily policed by Spain and Morocco, arrivals by sea are protected by a new court ruling.

Recent foggy conditions and warm sea temperatures probably led to the surge in arrivals. According to state broadcaster TVE, 2,000 to 3,000 people had crossed the border on Thursday.
However, the government said the ruling was not a factor in the sharp increase in crossings, instead blaming “exploitation by mafias and criminal organisations”.
Not everybody was convinced. Vox described the current crossings as an “invasion” and blamed Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s far left socialist government. Vox described the current crossings as an “invasion” and blamed Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s government.
“It has been a slow trickle since the supreme court’s ruling [granting amnesty to a million illegal immigrants already in Spain,], but today has been an explosion,” a spokesman for the Guardia Civil told Reuters.
In Melilla, although the situation was more muted, clashes and fires were reported at Beni Ansar, the exclave’s only border crossing with Morocco.
When Pedro Sánchez, Spain’s prime minister, declared shortly afterwards that “practically all” of them had returned to Morocco, relief quickly gave way to mockery – even though almost nobody had bothered to verify Madrid’s claims.
But away from the border crossing, a different reality is unfolding.
Up to 5,000 migrants remained scattered across the beaches, industrial estates and streets of Ceuta, officials estimated on Monday. Two migrant reception centres – one for adults and another for minors – had “collapsed”, the local mayor said.
But the official narrative from Madrid is that everything is under control, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s outrage, and her suggestion that Schengen free movement with Spain might have to be temporarily suspended is wildly overblown, and merely a political ploy apparently. So too was the criticism coming from other European capitals.
German leftist weekly Die Zeit denounced what it called “fact-free Spain-bashing” and went further still: “The new arrivals were returned quickly and without bureaucracy, so precisely what conservative and Right-wing parties always demand has happened.”
It would be comforting if that were true. It is not.
The reality is far messier – and it brutally exposes the EU’s impotence on migration.
Some reports from North Africa suggest these mobs of young male economic migrants are an Islamic 'forlorn hope', an expeditionary force sent to test European defences, as are the "small boats" currently ferrying many thousands of young Muslim men into Britain. A similar invasion is ongoing in Italy where for over a decade now swarms of illegal immigrants have descended like locusts on the tiny Italian ruled ] tiny Italian island of Lampedusa, where between June 1, 2023 and mid-January 2025, the reception center, or hotspot on the in the Mediterranean has welcomed a total of 126,000 migrants, states the Red Cross in figures released at the end of last week.
"The year 2024 that just ended brought a total of 45,997 migrants to Lampedusa on 1,095 different boats. Most of the arrivals were adult men (74.3 percent), followed by minors (19.4 percent) and women (6.3 percent)"
Madrid insists that “almost everyone” who entered the North African enclave during last week’s unprecedented influx has already been returned to Morocco.

The real invasion is yet to come, but come it will. History, it i said, repeats itself and the Islamic attack on Europe has happened several times before in the last 1500 years. Islamic invaders from North Africa ruled the whole of Spain until around 1480; as late as 1680, they very, very nearly occupied Vienna. If they had not lost that battle, European history would have been very different. Now they are back, and they mean business. Islam does not come to integrate but to subjugate. Muslims "know" that they have a divine duty to convert the world to the Islamic faith. One has to have a grudging admiration for their clear conviction. Would that our woke Christian and political leaders had such clarity of purpose. Mass immigration has replaced military action this time, but the aim of these migrants is to undermine European civil society and the rule of law. We citizens and our leaders must wake from our complacent sleep before it is too late.
Europe, under the EU, has been weak on borders by removing most of them and not protecting the few that are left. They've also been importing migrants en masse, often to the dislike of their own citizens, for decades. Those who arrive / are found / arrested are treated like victims and given what they need at the cost of tax-paying citizens, who don't necessarily support government action / inaction on migration and the recent EU Migration Pact, dubbed Europe's suicide pact, came into force there has been a huge backlash against open borders policy. The message this sends to the world is that anyone can just rock up and stay and be paid for. Until governments change the message, this problem will never stop, it will only collapse the 'safe' countries the millions are flocking to.

Sweden's Migrant Crackdown Could Spell The End Of Open Borders Across Europe
As we have reported many times over the past year, Sweden has been more hard hit by the crimes and lawlessness of illegal immigrants from primitive third world societies than anywhere else in Europe. Even the Sweden hating socialists cannot ignore the epidemic of rape crimes, assaults and the general contempt for Swedish society, law, culture and traditions that illegal immigrants from Africa and the middle east have expressed through their actions.

Another EU Member State's Globalist Government Collapses
We have recently been happy to report the victory of Georgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy, the defeat of Sweden's Social Democrat led coalition by a centreist group which includes the Eurosceptic Sweden Democrats, the resurgence of Germany's AfD and France's Rassemblement National. But somehow The Netherlands seemed immune to this trend. In spite of threats of a political upheaval, Prime Minister Mark Rutte somehow managed to stay in power election after election.

New Figures Show Brexit Has Failed To Take Back Control Of Immigration
Just over six years ago the nation's attention was focused on immigration, and particularly the 'Brexit' campaign's promise to 'Take Back Control' of our borders. Today the immigration issue is as predominant in many people's minds as news this morning revealed record numbers of migrants entered the country last year, while yesterday a record number of people were trying to make the hazardous crossing from France in small boats to enter the country illegally.
Germans Cheer As Refugee Center Burns
After a remarkable degree of restraint and tolerance was demonstrated by residents of EU cities where the refugees are being dumped in hostels, fed, clothed and given spending money, all funded by European taxes, the attacks that left 130 people dead in Paris in November and the string of sexual assaults that swept Cologne, Germany on New Year’s Eve have been the straw that has broken the camels back.
The EU is blatantly pro American, supportive of moves towards global government and opposed to democracy, except for the kind of democratic assembly that merely rubber stamps bureaucrats' decisions. Moreover, the EU has well documented designs towards extending 'Europe' into the middle east and north Africa, which makes an insane kind of sense of Hausfrau - Volksfuhrer Merkel's determination to flood Europe with illegal immigrants from those regions.
Fear and Panic: EU Defence Budgets Boom Amid ‘Russian Threat’ Paranoia

Paranoia over a supposed “Russian threat†and the fear of terrorism following the Paris attacks are causing panic among NATO and EU nations, causing governments to vastly increase their defense budgets:
