Donald Trump says migrant influx at Ceuta will be "a talking point for the midterms"

President Donald Trump, in a Fox News interview Friday, cited the mass entry of migrants into Spain’s North African enclave Ceuta from Morocco as evidence for stricter U.S. border enforcement. Spanish authorities said tens of thousands crossed irregularly since Thursday; over 37,000 had been returned, and at least 43 died, many while attempting to swim. Trump claimed the scene would become a talking point for the midterms and warned Democrats would allow a worse “invasion” of the U.S. He also linked the crossings to liberal laws and Biden-era immigration policies. Spain’s prime minister condemned smuggling gangs, while the EU noted no irregular entries into mainland Europe from Ceuta.
