38 migrants who landed on a beach in Vila do Bispo last Friday night are currently housed in an event pavilion in Sagres. They are unable to leave, under the watch of a dozen GNR military personnel, until they are directed to a Temporary Installation Center (CIT or EECIT) at one of three airports (Lisbon, Porto, and Faro) or the Santo António Housing Unit, designed for the same purpose. Had they sought asylum in Portugal, an immediate coercive removal process for illegal entry would not have been initiated.
