Over a thousand unaccompanied migrant minors currently housed in Ceuta, Spain

Over a thousand unaccompanied migrant minors are currently housed in Ceuta, Spain. Local authorities have converted two school buildings to accommodate them, reports El Periódico. Some children who arrived before the major influx at the end of July are already being transferred to mainland Spain. According to Spanish law, unaccompanied minors cannot be deported. In recent days, the Ceuta administration has expressed concern over online calls to organize a new wave of arrivals on August 15—such messages have previously appeared in regional media.
