The National Police has begun the eviction of the migrant settlement at Trampolín beach in Ceuta. Since the operation started, more than 350 officers have been deployed in the area, including units from the Civil Guard and armored vehicles. According to reports, the operation is being carried out in phases, necessitated by public health concerns following the detection of E. coli and enterococci in the beach waters.
Migrants present at the beach are being relocated by bus to the temporary reception center (CATE) located at the El Tarajal border, where they will undergo triage for identification. During the operation, which started at 08:00 hours, it has been emphasized that the Police have not registered significant incidents, indicating a controlled development of the situation.
Some sources report that, as part of this process, an unspecified number of migrants have chosen to voluntarily return to Morocco. Meanwhile, it is estimated that up to 3,000 migrants have been living in precarious conditions at this settlement since their mass arrival in Ceuta.
The eviction operation is framed within a broader context of a migratory crisis in Ceuta, where there has been a high influx of people attempting to cross from Morocco into Spanish territory. This situation has led authorities to implement extraordinary measures to manage the arrival of migrants.
The eviction coincides with the approach of an important event, which is not detailed in the reports, adding additional context to the police actions. The cleanup and eviction operations are part of ongoing efforts to address the situation of migrants in the region, as well as the sanitary conditions that have been a concern.
The Police continue to monitor the situation at Trampolín beach, ensuring the safety of migrants during the transfer and seeking an appropriate solution for those who do not choose to return. It is anticipated that the eviction operations will continue in the coming days as authorities work to manage the migratory flows.
