Police in Ceuta moved migrants to a reception centre and used batons

The Spanish police moved thousands of migrants from beaches in the North African enclave of Ceuta to a new, overcrowded reception center in the port area. During the operation, which began around 6:30 AM local time, officers used rubber bullets and batons to manage crowds after migrants attempted to push their way into limited spaces at the facility. The operation involved approximately 170 members of the National Police and 70 members of the Civil Guard, using drones to assist. Migrants who had spent the night on the beaches initially welcomed the move but soon faced congestion and forceful dispersal. The new temporary accommodation has a capacity of 1,700 people, but by midday all spots were filled, leaving some migrants without shelter. Authorities estimate that around 3,000 migrants remain on the streets and beaches after the relocation.
