On monday the past week , news coming out from spanish police made it known that thousands of migrants, including hundreds of young people who attempted to swim around security measures, were trying to penetrate the Moroccan border from Morocco and reach the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in recent days.
Videos surfaced on Spanish media over the weekend showed Spanish police holding migrants in the ocean throughout the day and at night in thick fog, unable to tell the new arrivals from sizable crowds of beachgoers.
Since August 22, there have been an average of 700 attempts per day to cross the border, with a peak of 1,500 attempts on Sunday, according to Cristina Pérez, the Spanish government's spokeswoman in Ceuta, who informed journalists on Monday.
Pérez stated that police were returning between 150 and 200 persons to Morocco every day in accordance with Spanish law that permitted "border rejections," however he did not say how many had really made it to Ceuta.
