Up to 70 illegal immigrants in Almería have been released due to a lack of space at the temporary holding centre where they were being retained.
The migrants, mostly Sub-Saharans, were set free on Saturday (June 24) on the orders of a judge after it emerged there was no space in any of the country’s detention centres.
In Almería, migrants are initially taken to a temporary holding centre in the city’s port, where they are meant to remain for no longer than 72 hours while they are being processed.
