Spain’s Supreme Court ruled earlier this month that migrants intercepted at sea while attempting to reach Ceuta or Melilla cannot be summarily returned under the enclaves’ special border-rejection regime.

Spain’s Interior Ministry said it was working closely with Morocco to address the surge in migrants.
They blamed people-smuggling networks for exploiting the Supreme Court’s ruling to encourage undocumented migration.
