Successful Police Operation in Ceuta Results in Return of Over 1,100 Migrants to Morocco

Police Operation in Ceuta Successfully Returns Migrants

In a significant development regarding migration management, Ángel Víctor Torres, the Minister of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory, announced on October 4, 2026, that a police operation conducted in Ceuta has successfully aided the return of more than 1,100 migrants to Morocco. This operation, which commenced early in the morning and concluded without any reported incidents, saw approximately 900 individuals returning voluntarily to their home country, as confirmed by police sources.

During a briefing, Minister Torres detailed that the operation, which took place throughout the day, involved hundreds of agents from various security forces. The initiative was aimed at relocating migrants from the Trampolín beach area to regulated resources, thereby ensuring a more structured and humane approach to their situation. Torres expressed gratitude towards all professionals involved in the operation, highlighting their efforts in maintaining order and security throughout the day.

He further emphasized that the government has been actively working to create resources and spaces in Ceuta over the past few weeks. The objective of these measures is to prevent individuals from having to sleep on the streets, underlining the administration's commitment to restoring normalcy as quickly as possible. Torres stated, "Our intention is to ensure that no person is left without shelter, and we will continue to enhance our efforts to achieve that goal." This proactive approach aims not only to address the immediate needs of the migrants but also to foster a sense of stability in the region, where migration continues to be a pressing issue.
