Spain Arrests Far-Right Leader Amidst Anti-Immigrant Riots

In Torre Pacheco, Spain, police have arrested the leader of the anti-immigrant group "Deport Them Now" for allegedly inciting violent clashes. The riots, which targeted businesses owned by Moroccan residents and other immigrant communities, spanned four nights. Authorities have also seized the suspect's electronic devices and are attempting to restrict access to the group's Telegram channels. Eleven people have been arrested in connection with the violence, many with ties to far-right groups. Prosecutors are also investigating a regional leader from the Vox party for potential hate speech that may have contributed to the unrest. The incidents occur against a backdrop of Spain's liberalized immigration policies.
