Moroccan authorities have detained dozens of migrants attempting to cross the border into the Spanish North African exclave of Ceuta. Security forces blocked more than 100 people near the outskirts of the town of Fnideq after security was heightened in the area.

The heightened security measures and subsequent detentions follow calls circulating on social media urging a second mass crossing on Saturday. These attempts come two weeks after approximately 72,000 people rushed into the Spanish exclave from Moroccan territory.
