The 1,100 Minors Caught in Legal Limbo
Approximately 1,100 unaccompanied minors who arrived in Morocco before and during a major migration influx remain in the country, unable to be summarily deported under local legal protections, according to the local government.
Administrative Hurdles Facing Authorities
While the vast majority of migrants who took part in the border movement have since returned to Morocco, the cohort of roughly 1,100 children and teenagers who arrived unaccompanied presents a distinct administrative challenge. Local government figures confirm that these minors arrived either prior to or during the surge.
