Overview

• Spain’s Supreme Court ordered distribution of 1,200 unaccompanied migrant minors from the Canary Islands to mainland centers under the Real Decreto’s quotas and fines for noncompliance.
• Pozuelo de Alarcón’s Ayuntamiento ordered the closure of the CREADE reception center due to its hotel license lacking residential authorization, halting plans to host 400 minors.
• Migraciones officials say Pozuelo was only one of several options, prompting the government to secure alternative reception sites in coordination with NGOs.
• Two initial flights have brought about 80 minors to the state-run Canarias 50 center in Las Palmas, marking the first step in planned small-group transfers.
• Regional authorities remain without confirmed transfer dates or destinations, complicating logistics around flights, guardianship and documentation for passport-less children.
