Spain Had Prior Intelligence Warning Before Ceuta Mass Migrant Crossing

Declassified documents reveal that Spanish and Moroccan authorities received advance warning of a planned mass migrant crossing into Ceuta. Intelligence agencies had identified social media calls urging people to attempt the crossing before the surge occurred. The warnings came just one day before tens of thousands of migrants entered the Spanish enclave. Despite the prior intelligence, the crossing proceeded on a massive scale, raising questions about the response from both governments.
