Migrants met by Spanish military as they swim to north African enclave Ceuta

Spain deployed its military to the Moroccan border Tuesday as thousands of people jumped fences and swam onto European soil for the second day in a row amid a deepening diplomatic spat. The two countries signed an agreement three decades ago to expel all those who swim across the border. Yet many arriving Tuesday were sub-Saharan Africans who are usually fleeing poverty or violence back home. The arriving adults were being transferred to Ceuta’s main football stadium as they waited to be returned to Morocco while those thought to be minors were sent to warehouses run by a charity group.
