Spain Imposes Reciprocal Border Checks on Italy After Ceuta Migration Crisis

Spain will check travelers from Italy from midnight Saturday through 7 September, retaliating after Italy imposed similar controls following a mass crossing into Spain's enclave of Ceuta, where 72,000 people entered in two days. Italy's measures run through 1 September. Both cite Schengen rules allowing temporary checks — but mutual imposition between member states is rare, and Rome shows no sign of backing down before 15 August.
