La Sexta faces controversy over Ceuta vigilante report

The Spanish television network La Sexta has faced significant controversy regarding its coverage of the migration crisis in Ceuta. The broadcaster aired a report featuring hooded individuals whom it described as citizen patrols dedicated to “beating up migrants who commit crimes.”

The report included claims from the unidentified individuals that they are not racist and that local police “turn a blind eye” to their actions. The segment has drawn heavy criticism on social media, with users questioning the identities of the participants and accusing the network of constructing a biased narrative. Controversy intensified after the network deleted the initial tweet used to promote the report, leading to further skepticism regarding the verification of the footage and the identities of those interviewed.
