What are the immediate consequences of Spain's new law redistributing unaccompanied migrant minors across its autonomous communities?

The Spanish government's new law mandates that autonomous communities share responsibility for accommodating unaccompanied migrant minors, particularly from the Canary Islands and Ceuta, exceeding their capacity threefold. This redistribution will affect approximately 4,400 children and adolescents, with Madrid projected to receive the most (806) due to its large population and limited existing capacity, while Catalonia will receive the least (27) due to its surplus capacity. Legal challenges are anticipated.
