Police confront migrants during relocation to Ceuta port camp, injuries reported
A court ruling cleared the way for a temporary migrant shelter on the Ceuta port, after ministers submitted the required paperwork. The government began moving migrants from informal beach settlements, placing roughly 850 people in 50 tents at the port. Police formed a cordon to control the flow and reported that at least three migrants were injured during the operation. Migrants who could not be accommodated returned to the Trampolín and Benítez beach camps, where the informal settlements re‑formed.
