Local officials in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta said on August 5 that there are still about 2,500 illegal immigrants stranded there, including about 1,100 unaccompanied minors. They cannot be immediately deported. This situation is unsustainable, and they hope to transfer most underage immigrants to mainland Spain. On the 5th, Agence France-Presse quoted Ceuta local government chief Juan Jesus Vivas as reporting that many children were placed in temporary shelters in warehouses, and some even slept on the street. Agence France-Presse also reported that some Spanish local governments, which are jointly run by the center-right People's Party and the far-right Voice Party, are likely to boycott the immigration resettlement process and refuse to accept underage immigrants stranded in Ceuta.
