Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times,The U.S. Department of State on Saturday increased a travel advisory for Ceuta, Spain, to a higher level due to unrest caused by a recent mass influx of illegal immigrants. “Spain has deployed the Spanish military, Spanish National Police, and Guardia Civil as a result of this serious situation,” it said. Spanish authorities on Saturday installed a 1,600-foot barrier along the sea border between Ceuta, located in North Africa, and Morocco following the surge. Moroccan illegal immigrants walk along Avenida Martínez Catena in Ceuta toward the border area on July 31, 2026, at 9:34 p.m. local time. According to the State Department, Spain—other than Cueta—is currently under a “Level 2” travel advisory, meaning to “exercise increased caution.”
