In the Spanish town of Torre Pacheco, the police have taken swift action against growing anti-immigrant unrest by arresting the leader of an extremist group, identified as C.L.F. This individual, part of the group known as Deport Them Now, has been accused of inciting violent riots that have plagued the area for four consecutive nights. These riots have troubled a community with a significant North African population and led to widespread destruction, with rioters attacking businesses owned by Moroccan and other immigrant groups.

The unrest escalated after hateful messages were circulated via the Telegram app, prompting demonstrations that turned violent. Police have intervened with riot squads to restore order, fearing further hostilities. As the local authorities grapple with these disturbances, they are also investigating potential hate speech from leaders of other right-wing political parties contributing to the chaos. As tensions simmer, Torre Pacheco stands on alert for potential further clashes.
