Spain's government has recorded 11,026 migrant returns from the Spanish enclave of Ceuta to Morocco since August, RTVE.es reports. Of that total, 513 were expulsions, according to figures cited by the outlet.
The count was given by Ángel Víctor Torres, the minister who oversees the portfolio, El Mundo reports. The returns cover a period of roughly two months, EL PAÍS notes.
The figures were released as reporting continued on how the enclave's migrant situation has changed. The Objective described beaches in Ceuta without migrants and returns to Morocco following an election announcement.
Separately, ABC reported that police identified Moroccan military personnel during the clearing of El Trampolín. That detail comes from ABC's own reporting and is distinct from the government's return figures.
The numbers reported by the Spanish government cover returns and expulsions only, and the material available does not break down how individual cases were processed or where those returned went after crossing into Morocco.
What to watch next: whether the Spanish government publishes updated return figures or further detail on the 513 expulsions.
