In an ongoing operation to reduce migration, the Guardia Civil has continued to repatriate migrants from Ceuta, with 6,000 still 'wandering' in the area. This operation, aimed at controlling the flow of migrants, has seen the forced return of approximately 6,000 individuals who were wandering within the Spanish territory.

During one such operation, a group of Maghrebi migrants was led from a truck positioned near the border. Uniformed guards herded them in the direction of Morocco, leaving them with little freedom of movement. Just a short distance from the Puerta de Europa, the last Spanish border post close to the frontier, the migrants understood they were about to be forcibly returned.

"No, no," the migrants pleaded. As they were just a few meters from the border, they tried to prevent their movement. For a moment, one of them managed to find a spot to hide among the uniformed guards, trying to avoid being deported. Eventually, he was returned, while others managed to escape.

In another incident, a group of migrants was attempted to be deported to Moroccan territory, but one of them managed to hide among the uniformed guards. In the end, he was deported, while others managed to escape.
