The Supreme Court has rejected the Community of Madrid's request to provisionally suspend the start of the procedure to transfer twelve unaccompanied foreign minors to this region from Ceuta and the Canary Islands, considering that it would cause "serious harm".The Community of Madrid appealed to the Supreme Court the initiation of twelve transfer procedures, started by the immigration offices dependent on the Government Delegation in the community and the autonomous city, by virtue of the reform of the Immigration Law, which established the referral of these children who migrate alone from communities with a migratory contingency to other autonomous communities.In an order issued on January 8, the Supreme Court, without delving into the merits of the appeal, maintains that halting the transfer of minors would cause "serious harm" due to the "notorious overcrowding" in which the minors in the Canary Islands find themselves, "in open incompatibility with the best interests of the child, to which this court alluded in another proceeding."
