Portuguese Court Expels Moroccan Asylum Seekers Amid EU Crackdown | Firstpost Africa | N18G

A Portuguese court has ordered the expulsion of 38 Moroccan migrants who arrived last week in a small wooden boat. The group, including men, women, and children, now has 20 days to leave Portugal voluntarily or face forced removal. They remain in custody and temporary housing as authorities process the decision. The Portuguese government praised the swift justice, reaffirming its commitment to maintaining secure maritime borders. Morocco and Portugal are separated by around 300-350 kilometres of Atlantic Ocean. Migration from Morocco to Europe, particularly Spain and Portugal, remains high, with irregular arrivals rising sharply in recent years amid growing anti-immigration sentiment across Europe.
