It's been six weeks since 80,000 migrants arrived at the tiny Spanish city of Ceuta after crossing over from Morocco and despite the passing of weeks, Ceuta is not yet back to normal. As the city struggles to come to terms with what has happened, it's the police who are suffering most in the crisis caused by the open-borders policy of the socialist government of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
The Federal Police Union (UFP) of Spain reported yesterday the "absolute collapse" of the Police in the Spanish city of Ceuta. Inspector Serafin Giraldo, president of the union in this enclave at the north of Africa, said in Antena 3 that officers at the immigration office in Ceuta are working 8 am to 11 pm, in shifts and even in consecutive 15 hour shifts. Giraldo said that one of the officers that worked over the weekend suffered a heart attack. He was rushed to the Intensive Care Unit and according to UFP it was due to "extreme stress and pressure" that he was suffering.
"Everything is collapsing," said Giraldo. "The system has completely collapsed. The Ceuta Immigration Office has very few resources, both human and material."
This is what Pedro Sanchez has done. The Spanish socialist prime minister in January 2026 introduced the biggest ever regularisation of illegal migrants living in Spain to foreign citizens. In a policy that critics said was unconstitutional, Sanchez hoped to give residency to hundreds of thousands of illegal foreigners. But the policy has had exactly the opposite of the intended effect. According to 22 out of 26 EU member states, it is a "pull factor" for more mass illegal migration. And that is exactly what happened in Ceuta.
The invasion has had catastrophic consequences. The reported crimes committed by migrants in Ceuta have increased by over 1,000% since the invasion, according to local media and the police union. As a result, the number of reported crimes has increased from a daily average of 20-30 to over 200 calls per day for police to attend crimes committed by migrants. Stabbings, invasions of homes, machete attacks, sexual assaults, and armed fights using sticks and air guns have all been reported by police. An off-duty Civil Guard was set upon and robbed by five men at a petrol station. There have also been reports of an attempted gang rape of a 12-year-old girl.
According to the UFP, migrants are occupying the beaches and parks of Ceuta, the city's sanitation system is collapsing and residents are no longer safe to go out at night. Officers simply cannot deal with the volume and severity of incidents occurring every single day.
The Sanchez government is responding slowly to the crisis with a mixture of acceptance and bland assurances. According to the European Commission those who entered Ceuta irregularly will not be granted residency in the rest of Schengen, but that remains to be seen as this crisis drags into a seventh week.
What is unfolding in Ceuta is a preview of what open-borders ideology produces. The disaster of the globalist project enforced by socialist governments is not just costing taxpayers money. Above all it is breaking down the officers of the law who are left to deal with the wreckage of these decisions. Today a Spanish police officer is in the intensive care unit of a hospital because of the prime minister's conviction that Europe needs more migrants.
