Tens of thousands of migrants swam into the Spanish exclave of Ceuta on Thursday, lured by false social media posts claiming Spain was open. The sudden influx left at least 72 people dead. Finding no food, shelter, or passage to mainland Europe, most of the migrants have returned or been escorted back to Morocco. The crisis has triggered a political storm in Europe, prompting Italy to suspend its Schengen agreement with Spain, while Spain has begun extending its border fence out to sea.
