A border emergency unfolding in Spain has become the latest flashpoint in the global immigration debate, with President Donald Trump pointing to the crisis as a warning for the United States if Democrats regain power.
The North African Spanish enclave of Ceuta was thrust into chaos after an extraordinary wave of illegal migrants crossed from neighboring Morocco over a roughly 24-hour period ending Friday. Reports indicate that close to 60,000 people attempted to enter the territory, creating one of the most dramatic border breaches Europe has witnessed in recent years.
The sudden influx pushed the small enclave—home to only about 85,000 residents—to its limits. Local authorities struggled to respond as streets filled with new arrivals, emergency services became overwhelmed, and public spaces were transformed into makeshift shelters.
