Morocco detained dozens of migrants who were trying to cross into Ceuta, according to reports. The group was stopped near the border area, and security forces took them into custody. Authorities had increased security measures. This was partly because of suggestions on social media about a possible second mass crossing on Saturday. The reports describe the situation as a response to these online claims, with border teams working to prevent people from entering illegally. At this time, there are no clear public details about the migrants’ identities or their countries of origin. It is also not yet known what legal steps will follow. Officials say they are monitoring the area closely.
