Moroccan security forces arrested nearly 300 migrants attempting to reach Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta, along with 61 alleged facilitators, in a crackdown on mass migration. The operation occurred two weeks after a deadly surge that killed 141 people, and was prompted partly by false social media rumors claiming the border would open. Separately, hundreds of migrants who had recently entered Ceuta staged protests demanding asylum rather than deportation to Morocco.
