CEUTA, Spain — Tens of thousands of migrants who crossed into Spain’s tiny Ceuta territory returned voluntarily to Morocco on Friday, a day after the influx triggered chaos in the North African city and reignited the immigration debate in Europe and beyond. At least 57 migrants died on the journey.
Ceuta’s president put the number of migrants at 60,000, which was equivalent to 70% of the territory’s population. But most of them soon went back, the Spanish government said, after the sudden arrival of so many people sparked a humanitarian crisis.
Some migrants swam several miles through the sea and faced down authorities
Washington — The United States and Israel are planning what would be one of the harshest bombing campaigns to date against energy infrastructure targets in Iran, multiple sources told CBS News, with strikes possible throughout the weekend.
There was some discussion about trying to conclude by the time financial markets open Monday because of concern about how the bombings will affect the U.S. and global economy, but an end point wasn't locked in.
The Israelis have been notified and are coordinating with the United States, according to multiple U.S. sources. The president has yet to give the final 'go' orders for the strikes, the sources said.
In the short span of a few hours, from noon to 4 p.m., the Spanish exclave city of Ceuta has been transformed: quiet streets have filled with barefoot young people, the lazy shade of public parks turned into massive open-air sleeping quarters; beaches once dotted with umbrellas and bikinis became crowded with migrants cooling off in the water. Ceuta was no longer the same city.
In a single day, thousands of migrants crossed from Morocco, either by swimming in open waters or by making their way around the breakwater that marks Spain’s border. The sudden influx has turned the city upside down and created an urgent management
As many as 60,000 illegal migrants from Africa have swarmed the Spanish territory of Ceuta after Spain’s Supreme Court ruled migrants intercepted at sea while trying to reach the area cannot be kicked out.
The ruling issued earlier this month — which applies to the Spanish autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla — said the migrants cannot be expelled under the territories’ special border-rejection regime.
Migrants climbed over border fences or swam to the territory’s shores. At least 34 people died trying to enter Ceuta.
Elon Musk Rides to the GOP's Midterm Rescue
13 replies
Elon Musk, the mercurial trillionaire, is planning another massive cash binge on behalf of the GOP's midterm campaign that might just be enough to keep the Republicans in power in the House and Senate.
In 2024, Musk dropped a cool $260 million to help elect Donald Trump. No word on exactly how much Musk is willing to shell out this election cycle, but it will only add to the Republicans' massive cash advantage over the Democrats for the November contests.
"GOP super PACs and committees have a $300 million-plus advantage over their Democratic counterparts — and that doesn't include the $400 million sitting in Trump's MAGA Inc. super PAC," reports Axios.
Less than 100 days before the midterms, voters are agitating for wholesale change in Congress and looking to the Democratic Party in hopes of making that happen.
Democrats lead Republicans on the generic ballot by 8 points among registered voters, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS. Democrats also continue to hold a significant advantage in voter enthusiasm and have a 20-point advantage in preferences among those who say they are extremely motivated to vote. More Americans say the country would be better off (38%) than worse off (33%) if Democrats were to take control of Congress this November, with 29% saying it wouldn’t make a difference.
About a third of Democrats and Democratic-leaning adults identify as democratic socialists, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.
They’re some of the party’s staunchest supporters, but many are also raring for a party overhaul at a time when democratic socialists are seeing new momentum at the polls.
Building on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s victory over Andrew Cuomo last year, candidates describing themselves as democratic socialists have secured the Democratic nomination in several US House races around the country, including defeats of incumbent Reps. Adriano Espaillat in New York and Diana DeGette in Colorado.
President Donald Trump on Thursday announced a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza.
The diplomatic breakthrough, brokered by his Board of Peace alongside mediators Egypt, Qatar and Turkey, will pave the way for a new Palestinian government in Gaza, Trump said.
"Today, the Board of Peace reached a HISTORIC agreement for the COMPLETE DISARMAMENT of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza. This is a monumental step toward lasting PEACE and SECURITY," Trump said in a Truth Social post.
Anthropic said Thursday that several of its advanced artificial intelligence models broke out of an isolated testing environment, accessed the open internet and independently hacked multiple companies without the AI-maker’s knowledge in three separate incidents dating back to April.
In a review published on Thursday night, Anthropic said an unreleased, internal research test model, as well as Opus 4.7 and Mythos 5, were involved. Mythos was released last month to a limited audience of tech companies and cybersecurity researchers, also known as Project Glasswing.

The Seattle Storm apologized after the team’s co-owner Celeste Keaton harassed two teenage fans during a home game over their opposition to trans-identifying males participating in women’s sports.
Keaton was fined by the WNBA and suspended from the Storm’s next five home games for berating two teenage girls at Tuesday’s game against the Indiana Fever. The girls were wearing “XX XY Athletics” shirts and holding signs expressing support for Sophie Cunningham, a Fever guard who has spoken out in support of fairness in women’s and girls’ sports.
Spain's socialist government is presiding over a manmade disaster.
Stunning images and videos have surfaced of Algerian and Moroccan migrants overrunning the coastal city of Ceuta. Fox News reporter Bill Melugin remarked on the disturbing videos. "This takes me back to Del Rio, TX in 2021 w/ the Haitian surge. Similar images," he remarked.
"This is what the DSA/socialist platform looks like in practice - in another country," he added. "No borders. No immigration enforcement. Complete freedom of movement without any resistance from the government." The videos coming out of Ceuta, Spain are insane," he added. "Thousands of Moroccans and Algerians breaching and overrunning the Spanish border."

What a cowardly and shameful final chapter for Dr. Anthony Fauci, who pleaded the Fifth 111 times in the Senate Wednesday even though he has a pre-emptive presidential pardon that gives him immunity from prosecution.
In the history of Congress, only a couple of mob bosses have invoked the privilege more.
“On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights, under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution,” the Machiavellian career bureaucrat said over and over in the nearly three-hour hearing before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
But Fauci’s silence rendered him a villain more powerfully than his usual sly deceptions.
Shameful, too,

An unprecedented wave of nearly 50,000 illegal migrants from Africa has flooded the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, prompting Spain to deploy its military – as locals liken the invasion to an “apocalypse.”
Harrowing local media reports reveal residents and business owners in Ceuta – a Spanish territory located on the north African coast – are terrified to open their doors amid the rush of migrants, many of whom arrived wearing nothing but swimwear without a penny or possession to their name.
“Businesses closed. Shops shut because if you open a business, it gets overrun … We’re scared. The streets are packed. There are no measures in place. It’s every man for himself.

She's the Democrat frontrunner for the 2028 general election. (snip) we are told, Kamala Harris is the true champion of the 'oppressed' — women, people of color, and the poor — in the United States. (snip) And now, Harris and her husband have moved to a swanky neighborhood in which she is one of but a handful of black residents — Point Dume, in Malibu, Calif.
"Point Dume is situated entirely within Census tract 8004.08, which the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey estimated was just 0.2% Black and roughly 94% White as of 2019," noted the New York Post on Thursday.
Following Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) missile attacks on U.S. bases in Kuwait and Jordan, President Donald Trump is now signaling readiness for full-scale military action that could shatter the cycle of tit-for-tat exchanges and accelerate an end to the conflict, opening the door for a full-on revolution for the Persian nation.
"We're going to beat the f****** s*** out of them [...] We'll be hitting them hard. They're going to get a beating," Trump said on Wednesday.
If the Iranian regime collapsed under external pressure and internal strain, the power vacuum could empower ordinary Iranians, who have long protested theocratic rule, to seize control of their country’s future.
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson isn’t exactly known for her neutrality — quite the opposite, actually.
She’s infamous for using emotional arguments in her decisions and for her long-winded, loaded questions. As our Sister Toldjah reported in 2025, she often gets under the skin of even the other justices. “We will not dwell on Justice Jackson’s argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself,” Barrett wrote about Jackson’s musings regarding a birthright citizen case.
One of the things that is perplexing and often a topic of conversation is this new American-Western European alliance or absorption of Islam and Marxism-socialism-communism. In other words, people who identify as radical Muslims, often in their alliance, include people who are traditional Western Marxists, and it doesn’t seem possible for a variety of ways.
There’s a lot of antitheses. Do we really believe that these upscale people in blue enclaves in the United States who declare themselves socialist and are voting for people like Zohran Mamdani, or Ilhan Omar, or Rashida Tlaib, who are proud, and active, and often fervent Muslims, tolerate gays?
With the rise of the Mamdani-style communists has come a widespread narrative that the sudden rise of more openly radical politicians means the Democrats of the last few years or decades are somehow moderate. Depending on who’s telling the story, it’s a harrowing tale about Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries trying to stave off the DSA Marxists; or the “far left” floundering because it doesn’t have its own Fox News; or the party needing a storybook journey home to the moderation of Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
These are all tall tales, of course. Schumer and Jeffries are engaged in a power struggle, but it’s an intramural contest among fellow radicals.
9th Circuit Court of Appeals Says Illegal
Alien Detention Unlawful Because No Other

Alien Detention Unlawful Because No Other

The issue of illegal aliens being detained while awaiting their transport out of the country is destined to eventually hit the Supreme Court.Several courts of appeal have split on the issue of whether illegal aliens can be detained during processing out of the country with some saying yes and some saying, no. The Nineth Circuit Court of Appeals weighed in today and also said no, with a rather goofy and odd reason in their opinion. [Court Ruling Here]
The 9th CCA doesn’t like the term “illegal alien” so they use the politically correct term, “unadmitted aliens” to describe non-Americans who are in the country illegally.
