A crowd of local residents face off against a prominent far-right Spanish politician ? who had traveled to the territory to call for the expulsion of migrants ? in Ceuta, Spain, Aug. 1, 2026. Many of the roughly 50,000 people who crossed the border on Thursday and Friday wondered if the unprecedented surge had been planned by Morocco, which has been accused of using immigrant flows in the past for political pressure. By Friday evening, most of them had left, hungry and disappointed. (Finbarr O?Reilly/The New York Times/Fotoarena)
