FACT FOCUS: Migrant crossing in Spain's Ceuta breeds unsubstantiated claims
in5points
Spain's amnesty for immigrants without residency permits, with over 1 million applicants, is cited by critics as a cause of the border surge in Ceuta.
Spanish officials report about 60,000 migrants entered Ceuta from Morocco, with at least 41 deaths.
Spain's government attributes the crisis to criminal gangs, rejecting claims that its amnesty encouraged illegal migration.
A Spanish Supreme Court ruling, which prevents summary deportation of migrants arriving by sea, was misconstrued by smugglers, according to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
