At least 41 migrants have died after around 60,000 people crossed from Morocco into Spain's enclave of Ceuta in the past 24 hours. Many reportedly drowned or were killed in a stampede near the border. Spain has deployed troops, more police, drones and boats to strengthen security. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez blamed human smugglers and called the mass crossing a violation of Spain's territorial integrity. The European Union described the situation as unacceptable, while several European countries offered support. US President Donald Trump also commented, linking the migrant crisis to the US immigration debate during a political statement.
