Overview

• After a bilateral meeting, officials set immediate departures of nine girls on Thursday and seven boys on Sunday, with about 20 minors per week slated for the following two weeks.
• Minister Ángel Víctor Torres confirmed two transfers this week, while the Canary government maintained there is still no clear roadmap or accompaniment protocol.
• Regional authorities said the State plans to create new mainland places instead of using existing protection centers, and they reported that locations have not been specified.
• By week’s end, authorities expect 31 minors to have reached the peninsula, short of the roughly 60 agreed earlier this month, and some boys at the Canarias 50 facility are nearing a month’s stay despite a 15‑day pledge.
• Canary leaders cite a Supreme Court order to relieve severe overcrowding—reported at up to 750% of capacity—and estimate that, at the current pace, completing the court-ordered derivations could take close to a year.
