When a coastal city in Spain was overwhelmed by tens of thousands of “migrants” from Morocco after Spain declared amnesty for any comers, Italy closed its borders. Now, Spain is demanding Italy open its borders within two days.
The Spanish government declared, “We urge the government of Italy to rectify, put an end to the checks and treat Spaniards like other European citizens,” the government said in a statement. If it does not do so before the end of Sunday, August 9, Spain will be obliged to adopt proportional measures to protect the interests and dignity of its citizens.”

Spain on Friday threatened Italy with countermeasures if Rome did not lift this week its one-month suspension of the free-travel Schengen agreement, introduced after the mass migrant rush to Ceuta.
The rare spat between the EU and NATO allies came after tens of thousands of migrants crossed from Morocco to the Spanish north African territory last week in an unprecedented and deadly rush.
The scenes infuriated other European Union members that back a hard line on irregular immigration and the protection of the bloc’s external borders, including far-right Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
Migrants Invaded Ceuta Because A Court Encouraged Them. SCOTUS Just Did The Same Here– thefederalist.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Some 60,000 tough young men from Morocco suddenly arrived in a small autonomous Spanish city located in northern Africa, many carrying cell phones in plastic bags to protect them from the water they crossed by inner tubes and swimming. This group of migrants is greater than the population of 95 percent of American cities and towns.
A recent pro-immigration ruling by the Tribunal Supremo, the Supreme Court of Spain, sparked this invasion, creating a lesson for our crisis of illegal immigrants in the United States. A week after our own Supreme Court’s disastrous decision in favor of illegals getting birthright citizenship, Spain’s Supreme Court ruled that migrants captured at sea cannot be immediately returned to their native country, known as a “pushback.”
Spanish Territorial Policy Minister Ángel Víctor Torres referred to the ruling as a factor contributing to unlawful invasion. He also said legal experts think the decision will allow eventual deportation of these illegal immigrants, but only after time-consuming legal processes are provided to each of the invading migrants.
The language of Morocco is Arabic. But Spanish is the language of the two Spanish territories bordering Morocco in northern Africa, named Ceuta and Melilla, such that many of the migrants cannot communicate with local officials. Ceuta is located on the African side of the Strait of Gibraltar, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea, and residents receive their food via the 30- to 60-minute ferry ride from Spain. Melilla is located 250 miles eastward on the Mediterranean coast.

CEUTA, Spain — Tens of thousands of migrants were expelled from this tiny Spanish city on the coast of North Africa almost as quickly as they came, and calm returned to the beaches and sidewalks, after a mass breach of the border from Morocco. For Spain, however, the political fallout and intrigue only deepened Saturday.
Priest calls for ‘Reconquista’ of Morocco after Islamic migrant surge into Spain– www.lifesitenews.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Father Javier Aizpún, a priest in the Archdiocese of Pamplona and Tudela, went viral in recent days after he called for a “Reconquista” of Morocco to Catholicism in response to tens of thousands of migrants swarming into Spain last week.
Per various Spanish media outlets, Fr. Aizpún, the canon of the Pamplona Cathedral, in a series of since deleted social media posts in the wake of approximately 50,000-60,000 migrants rushing into the small Spanish territory of Ceuta from the Moroccan border last week asked for the intercession of Our Lady of Africa, the patroness of the city, to spur the “Reconquista” of Morocco to Catholicism.
The priest also called for all “Arab colonizers” to be expelled from the northern region of the African country, called “Mauretania Tingitana” by the ancient Romans, and reclaim the original “Roman Hispania.”
“May Our Lady of Africa, patron saint of Ceuta, spur the reconquest of Morocco and its conversion to Christianity,” the priest wrote in one of the now-deleted posts. “Let us finish what Queen Isabella the Catholic left undone.”

Spain said migrant crossings into its North African enclave of Ceuta stopped overnight, as police began installing a 500-metre (1,640-foot) floating barrier on Saturday off its border with Morocco following a mass rush that killed at least 67 people.
According to Spanish authorities, about 60,000 people had crossed into Ceuta by land and sea from Thursday in an unprecedented surge at one of the European Union‘s only land borders with Africa. More than 48,000 of them returned to Morocco within 48 hours, Spain said.

France Detains Six Over Suspected Plot Targeting Synagogue
PARIS, July 25 (Reuters) – Six people have been held in custody and are expected to face charges over a foiled attack earlier this month that targeted a synagogue in the Paris suburb of Sarcelles, the French anti-terrorism prosecutor said on Saturday.
The six suspects, whose identities were not disclosed, were arrested after about 300 people were evacuated from Sarcelles on July 12 when a suspicious vehicle was found near the synagogue.
The prosecutor said that the plot was linked to Islamic extremism.
Images of Pope Leo XIV welcoming African migrants to Europe has sparked outrage, as some accuse the Pontiff of encouraging the weakening of western nations while maintaining Vatican City as an impenetrable fortress that threatens illegal migrants with huge fines and lengthy prison sentences.
In a widely viewed video posted by EWTN, the Pope can be seen greeting a large group of migrants who had just made their way by boat to the Sicilian Island of Lampedusa. He also prayed at a cemetery there for migrants who died making the perilous journey.
The viral video has been seen over 1.1 million times while triggering nearly 2,000 mostly negative comments because of the Vatican’s longstanding hypocrisy on migration and open borders.
The bishops of the European Union and Caritas Europa have criticized the EU for implementing stricter immigration rules.
On June 17, the European Parliament passed rules for faster deportation procedures for migrants who have to leave the union. Under the regulation, migrants without the right to remain can be held in detention pending deportation for up to 30 months under certain circumstances. Children may also face detention pending deportation, although lawmakers emphasize that such detention is a last resort in these cases.
The new regulation also allows for the establishment of special return centers outside the EU. These centers are intended to house rejected asylum seekers who cannot be deported to their home countries – for example, because their country of origin cannot be clearly determined or because there are no diplomatic relations with that country. The EU now also provides clearer guidelines on how rejected asylum seekers must cooperate with their own deportation if they wish to avoid penalties. In addition, the directive tightens the rules for individuals who pose a security risk.
Right after Sweden announced it would be sending migrants back that failed to pass the “good behavior test,” the EU made a bolder statement. By a vote of 418-218, the EU parliament voted for mass deportation of migrants. After the vote, the parliament erupted with chants of “Send them Back!”
Sweden has signaled it has run out of patience with its migrants, passing a law that revokes resident status of migrants who fail a “good-behavior” test. The law follows the current government’s moves to restrict applications for residency, citizenship, and asylum, though the government has yet to move to halt migration altogether.
There are many reasons as to why open borders are evil and anti-Biblical. This is why it is both bizarre and inappropriate for Pope Leo to demand Western countries take on the problems of the Third World, especially considering no one asked him. Nonetheless, according to Pope Leo, “all of us are migrants.” And while you think of these people as foreigners today, they could very well be your neighbor tomorrow.
On Friday Leo called on leaders to do more to welcome and integrate migrants, warning that many face a “silent shipwreck” after they arrive, finding themselves “left alone in a city, without a voice, without ties, work or a sense of security, and susceptible to those who take advantage of vulnerability”.
ROME — Tens of thousands of people marched through the streets of the Italian capital in anti- and pro- migration demonstrations Saturday, after a far-right citizens’ initiative seeking sweeping measures against migrants garnered enough support to be brought to Parliament.
A petition by the initiative, named “Remigration and Reconquest,” gathered the 50,000 signatures needed to trigger parliamentary discussion, pushing the once-fringe concept of “remigration” into the political mainstream. No date has been scheduled yet for a vote.
The proposal, promoted by right-wing groups, calls for sweeping measures targeting foreigners, including coercive returns, incentives to leave Italy and broader policies critics say could extend to legal residents.
If Northern Ireland is a bellwether of what’s to come in broader Britian, the ordered protests in front of police stations are about to be replaced with organized targeted assaults on migrant strongholds.
Violence is wrong. This is what happens when a government ignores its citizens, sacrifices their security, and leaves them feeling like strangers in their own country. No one is surprised by the rage its failures ultimately provoke.
CBS: Violent anti-immigration protests erupted in parts of Belfast on Tuesday evening with some masked demonstrators setting fire to a bus, cars, trash cans and homes. Far-right figures had called on social media for mass protests after a brutal stabbing attack the previous night in Northern Ireland’s capital.
A graphic video of the incident, showing a man slashing another man in the head and neck with a knife, spread quickly online earlier in the day. The Police Service of Northern Ireland detained and charged a Sudanese man in his 30s with attempted murder, possession of a knife in a public place and making threats to kill.
After a Sudanese national apparently attempted to brutally behead a man in Belfast, Ireland, The New York Times on June 10 claimed the real concern was “anti-immigrant sentiment,” not how the U.K.’s open border policies enabled the attack.
Video from the attack, which went viral on social media, shows the migrant attacking a native U.K. citizen named Steven Ogilvy in an apparent attempted beheading. The New York Times (NYT) article does not describe the attack until four paragraphs in, and does not use the word “beheading” once. The article also buries information about the suspect, including the fact that he was a Sudanese who may have fraudulently claimed refugee status, in the eleventh paragraph.
Elon Musk has rejected claims that he is to blame for inciting disorder in Belfast.
In a post on X, the platform he owns, Musk retweeted a post from Matt Goodwin, the Reform UK candidate at the recent Gorton and Denton byelection, saying:
It’s not social media that’s “inflaming tensions”.
It’s not Elon Musk.
It’s not Nigel Farage.
It’s not the ‘far-right’.
It is the very deliberate policy of mass uncontrolled immigration & open borders.
This policy has to end or it will destroy Western nations.

THE MIGRANT CRIME HOSTAGE STATEMENT
There is a strange little ritual that now follows certain crimes.
Police blasted water cannons Wednesday at protesters in Northern Ireland who set small fires and hurled bricks, rocks and bottles at them during a second night of violence over a brutal stabbing on a Belfast street.
Demonstrators wearing masks tore bricks from the walls outside homes and smashed sidewalks with sledgehammers to toss at riot police. In one place, the unruly crowd used sections of a dismantled picket fence to take cover on the street.
Belfast attack suspect was granted asylum based on controversial fast-track questionnaire– rmx.news News Source EXCERPT:
The Sudanese asylum seeker charged in connection with the attempted beheading in Belfast on Monday was granted refugee status in Britain through a fast-track Home Office process that avoided a full face-to-face interview.
The Daily Mail reported on Thursday that the 30-year-old suspect, identified as Hadi Alodid, was allowed to remain in the U.K. after completing a 10-page questionnaire under the Streamlined Asylum Process, a system introduced under the then-Conservative government to help clear tens of thousands of unresolved asylum cases.
Alodid’s case was reportedly handled under the scheme, which was set up as ministers sought to reduce a backlog of 92,000 claims. The process was overseen by then-home secretary Suella Braverman and then-immigration minister Robert Jenrick, both of whom have since joined Reform UK, the party topping national polling in Britain.
According to the tabloid newspaper, the fast-track programme was known inside parts of the Home Office as the “grant 0factory,” allowing applicants from countries with very high asylum grant rates to have their claims processed without the usual in-person interview.
It initially applied to selected nationalities and was later extended to Sudanese applicants in June 2023. Alodid had travelled from Dublin to Belfast by bus in February of that year and was granted a five-year refugee visa in September 2023.
The Streamlined Asylum Process also covered applicants from countries including Syria, Afghanistan, Eritrea, Libya, and Yemen, despite significant security concerns surrounding particular entrants from those countries.
Migration Watch UK, which campaigns for stricter border controls, warned at the time that the scheme was a “dangerous folly” and an “asylum amnesty in all but name.”
A Conservative source told the Daily Mail that the policy had been driven by then-Prime Minister Rishi Sunak despite internal resistance at the Home Office. “The Home Office at the time did not want to do the fast-track scheme, but Rishi forced it on them,” the source said.
The revelation that the suspect was offered an easy ride into Britain prompted an angry response from Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe, who said Jenrick and Braverman had “serious questions to answer” over the system introduced while they were in government.
“This is traitorous,” he wrote on X, before calling for the asylum system to be abolished, mass deportations, and a referendum on the death penalty for offenders who carry out extreme knife attacks in Britain.
Alodid has now been charged with the attempted murder of Stephen Ogilvie, 44. The victim reportedly lost his left eye and suffered wounds to his neck and back.
Maitiu Mag Tighearnan, a 32-year-old father, has been praised after intervening in the attack with a hurling stick. Tighearnan said he had arrived at the scene by chance and acted to “protect a young lad.”
“This was late at night, and so we thought we better go and break it up,” he said. “He shouted to me that the man attacking the other had a knife and to get something to help. At this point, I thought someone was going to lose their life.”
“Instinct took over and I ran over and I smashed this guy over the head with a hurling stick,” he said. “Right on the flat side, about three times. As hard as I could.”
“I just hope the victim pulls through and manages to recover as best he can,” he added.
The Daily Mail also reported that Ogilvie had survived a horrific attack in Scotland 25 years earlier. In 2001, he was tortured and set on fire in a flat in Livingston by drug dealer David McLeave, who was later jailed for 14 years by the High Court in Edinburgh.
According to the report, Ogilvie had been given the drug GHB, burned with a cigarette, stripped, doused in aftershave, and set alight while unconscious. He fled back to Northern Ireland after the attack and later reported the ordeal to authorities.

Monday’s attack sparked major unrest in Belfast, where homes and cars were set alight after hundreds of people took to the streets on both Tuesday and Wednesday night. Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) — properties whereby several unrelated individuals share facilities, a type of arrangement frequently used by the Home Office to accommodate asylum seekers — were targeted in attacks.
Police have arrested a Sudanese male on suspicion of attempted murder after what has been called an attempted beheading on the streets of Belfast.
The PSNI were cagey in their earlier statement when they called their suspect merely a man “believed to be Somalian”. This caution seems to have been justified as they’ve now rectified that, saying in a new statement that’s just been published that they can “confirm that the man in custody is Sudanese and not Somalian, as initially believed”. The force cited a “fast-time investigation” and said further updates would follow.
There was also a minor update on the victim, with the police saying they confirmed “that the injured man remains in a serious condition in hospital”. They also noted “inaccurate online posts regarding the victim’s condition”, but without any further context.
We’ll keep the updates coming as we get them.
The man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder over a brutal attack in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in the United Kingdom on Monday night has been revealed to be a “believed to be Somalian” in his 30s, police said. An update from the Police Service of Northern Ireland on Tuesday morning said the man had been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder on Kinnaird Avenue, north Belfast, around 22:30.
An injured man, unidentified other than to say he is in his 40s, was transported to hospital. He is in serious condition and police say he has received “significant injuries to his face, neck and back”.
The PSNI declared a critical incident after the attack and a spokesman said an investigation is underway to determine a motive. They said: “This brutal attack will have sent shockwaves through the community causing real concern. I want to reassure the local community that we are treating this attack with the utmost seriousness. Our investigation is continuing at pace. Community safety is our priority and we are currently engaging with local representatives and residents to provide reassurance and support.
“Our officers were on the scene within minutes and we wish to acknowledge the members of the public who strived to save the man from further attack. Their willingness to step forward to help another person shows incredible bravery and community spirit.”
British lawmakers have condemned the apparent attempted beheading on the streets of Belfast as “sickening”, “barbaric”, and “medieval” as police announced the arrest of a man thought to be from Sudan. Meanwhile, left-wing politicians have warned of a potential retaliation from the so-called “far-right”.
Footage shared on social media appeared to show a man, seemingly of African descent, repeatedly stabbing at the neck and head area of a man on the ground in an apparent beheading attempt. A police update on Tuesday morning said the suspect, earlier said to be Somalian, is actually of Sudanese origin.
NORMANDY, France — U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth warned about the invasion of Europe by third-world migrants in a Saturday speech commemorating the 82nd anniversary of D-Day. Hegseth spoke at the Normandy American Cemetery, where thousands of Americans are buried. All but one died storming the beaches on D-Day or in the subsequent Battle of Normandy during World War II.
“Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain and Italy and Greece and Bulgaria,” Hegseth said. “Boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late? I pray not, and I believe not.”
Twenty-nine WWII veterans attended the ceremony, and 107-year-old Arthur Rose, a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy on D-Day, read a letter he sent home days after the invasion. French and American flags whipped on their poles as wind blasted through the cemetery and waves of rain and sunshine alternated, giving Hegseth an appropriate backdrop to offer a stark warning to Europe: They face yet another existential crisis today, this time from third-world migrants intent on destroying the West.
As the left discusses increasing diversity and acceptance, violence is escalating across Germany. Today on the streets of Berlin, four Turkish-Kurdish gangs are fighting for dominance in the drug trade, and
According to Manuel Ostermann, federal chairman of the DPolG Federal Police Union, these gangs are extremely well-connected and structured, maintain global financial networks, and know no bounds in their fight for power.
“They don’t hesitate for a second to use firearms or explosives. They have no inhibitions,” he tells Bild. “This is certainly not the end of the escalation. Today, it’s no longer just brawls, but open gun violence and hand grenades.”
Protesters in The Netherlands allegedly set fire to an asylum center Tuesday and attacked firefighters amid waves of ongoing anti-asylum protests across the country, prompting arrests on suspicion of arson and other charges from authorities.
The 300–400 protesters allegedly threw torches and fireworks at the disused town hall in the town of Loosdrecht in North Holland, setting fire to the shrubs and trees against the wall of the building Tuesday evening just as more asylum seekers arrived to join the 15 asylum seekers and staff already in the building, DutchNews.nl reported.
The protesters also allegedly pelted officers and momentarily prevented firefighters, according to the outlet.
