# Police evict migrant settlement in Ceuta 11 October 2026 at 09:33 > Spanish National Police cleared nearly 1,000 Moroccan migrants from the El Guano esplanade on Sunday for processing and relocation. [Spanish National Police]() launched a major operation on Sunday morning to evict an illegal migrant settlement at the **El Guano** esplanade in [Ceuta](). Over twenty Police Intervention Unit vans arrived after 8:00 AM to clear the site of fewer than 1,000 [Moroccans](). The group, including 100 minors, moved to El Guano two weeks ago following previous removals of 1,700 people from Benítez and Trampolín beaches. Those evicted are processed at the **Temporary Care Center for Foreigners** for relocation or formal asylum procedures. This deployment follows a mass entry in July and ongoing attempts to reach the mainland via recreational boats. Migrants facing final asylum denials will receive five-year expulsion orders, as authorities continue to manage the 3,500 people initially present.
