    Spain Installs Buoy Barrier Off Ceuta for Immediate Migrant Deportation

    Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has ordered the installation of a barrier of buoys off Ceuta to create a legal basis for immediate deportation of migrants intercepted while swimming. The decision comes in response to a massive influx of migrants from Morocco, exceeding 50,000 in recent days. The barrier, 500 meters long, will be supplemented by anchored buoys and patrolled by Civil Guard boats. The Supreme Court ruling of July 8 requires a physical element of restraint at sea for 'hot returns' of migrants. The Spanish army is assisting in the installation of the barrier, with overall coordination by the Maritime Rescue Service.
