Spanish police began an operation to relocate migrants camped on beaches in Ceuta, the Spanish enclave in North Africa, reportedly firing shots into the air on Friday morning as they struggled to control crowds jostling for space at a newly erected tented site. The operation reflects mounting pressure on Spanish authorities as migrant numbers in the enclave continue to grow. In a show of solidarity with the region amid the crisis, Spain's national football team chose Ceuta as the location to unveil its Nations League squad, with World Cup winners highlighting the ongoing migration troubles at the border. The dual developments underscore how the Ceuta migrant situation has become a prominent national issue in Spain.
