The government is carrying out around 100 triages a day in Ceuta and has already expelled 250 migrants.

On September 21, 2026, Spanish Minister of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory, Ángel Víctor Torres, reported that the government is conducting over 100 migrant triage assessments daily in Ceuta. As a result of these procedures, approximately 250 migrants have been expelled due to illegal entry.

Concurrently, political tensions regarding the situation in Ceuta have escalated. Enrique Santiago, parliamentary spokesperson for Izquierda Unida and a deputy for Sumar, has publicly attributed blame for recent aggressions in the city—which included an incident involving a deputy—to the political parties PP and Vox, citing their role in increasing local social and political friction.
