# Police clear 3,000 migrants from Ceuta's Trampolín beach

*Operation involves significant police resources to transfer migrants to temporary centres for identification.*

**Scores for the source reporting** (0-100, assessing the original journalism this article was written from, not this write-up): 

- Trust 42 of 100, higher is better. Central claim attributed to police sources; two full reports and 38 digests corroborate the event.
- Craft 61 of 100, higher is better. Reporting includes details on police operations, migrant experiences, and previous similar events.
- Hype 41 of 100, lower is better. Headlines use strong verbs like 'eviction' and 'clearance' but are generally supported by the content.

**The short version**

- Spanish National Police began an operation on Sunday morning to clear the migrant settlement on Trampolín beach in Ceuta.
- More than 3,000 migrants were living in the settlement, which police are dismantling using significant resources.
- Migrants are being transferred to the Temporary Centre for Foreigners (CATE) at the Tarajal border for identification.
- A previous operation on Benítez beach saw some migrants voluntarily return to Morocco.

Spanish National Police commenced an operation on Sunday morning to clear the migrant settlement on Trampolín beach in Ceuta. More than 3,000 migrants were living in the settlement, which police are dismantling using a large number of personnel and resources, including armoured vehicles and drones. Migrants are being transferred to the Temporary Centre for Foreigners (CATE) at the Tarajal border for identification. A previous operation on Benítez beach led some migrants to voluntarily return to Morocco.

## Disagreement on migrant numbers

Reports vary on the exact number of migrants living in the settlement. La Vanguardia and Eldiario.es state more than 3,000 migrants were living there. Euronews and Diario de Cádiz also report approximately 3,000 people. However, El Correo and La Razón estimate more than 3,500 people lived in the settlement. Nova24tv.si reports around 3,500 illegal migrants.

## Omissions in coverage

None of the right-rated digests mention the detail that a previous operation on Benítez beach led some migrants to voluntarily return to Morocco, a fact reported by La Vanguardia.

## Who covered it

Shares of the 27 covering outlets with a published leaning rating:

- Left: 11% (3)
- Centre: 41% (11)
- Right: 48% (13)

48 of 75 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages. Coverage measured 2026-10-04T15:00:10.592236+00:00.

**Coverage watch:** developing. Checked 10 times; 0 checks found a material change. Most recently checked 2026-10-04T15:15:06.867Z.

## How the sides framed it

### Left

- The left-rated reports from La Vanguardia and Eldiario.es focused on the police operation to clear the settlement on Trampolín beach. Both reports mentioned the presence of more than 3,000 migrants. La Vanguardia noted the transfer of migrants to the CATE for identification and a previous operation on Benítez beach that led to voluntary returns to Morocco. Eldiario.es included personal accounts from migrants, describing their uncertainty and the police presence, and mentioned the transfer of children and women to separate areas.

### Centre

- Centre-rated reports from WTVB, Euronews, Hola News, 20minutos, El Correo, and Diario de Cádiz highlighted the police operation to clear the migrant camp on Trampolín beach. Most reports stated that more than 3,000 migrants were living in the settlement, with El Correo and La Razón estimating over 3,500. The transfer of migrants to the CATE at the Tarajal border for identification was consistently mentioned. Euronews noted the poor living conditions and the timing of the operation ahead of a royal visit. El Correo and La Razón mentioned the operation's aim to clear the settlement.

### Right

- Right-rated reports from Protothema, Nova24tv.si, Cyprus Mail, dagelijksestandaard.nl, The Straits Times, ESdiario, Observador, Sapo, La Razón, and El Mundo focused on the police operation to clear the migrant camp. Several reports mentioned the use of significant resources, including armoured vehicles and drones, with Nova24tv.si and ESdiario specifically detailing this. Numbers of migrants varied, with some digests mentioning over 72,000 crossing the border in total, while others focused on the settlement itself, with estimates ranging from around 3,500 (Nova24tv.si, La Razón, El Mundo) to over 3,500 (El Correo). The transfer of migrants to the CATE for identification or voluntary return to Morocco was also noted.

**Provisional coverage gap:** left. The watch is not closed, so this is not yet a settled blindspot finding.
