60,000 migrants crossed into Ceuta overnight as Morocco pressures Spain

More than 60,000 migrants entered the Spanish enclave of Ceuta — population 83,000 — in a single night, prompting the deployment of the army and leaving 27 people dead. Expert Maciej Pawłowski of the New Europe Institute says Morocco is signalling its indispensability as a border guard to Spain. Madrid's leverage in the standoff is its co-hosting role for the 2030 World Cup.
