Journalist Nick Shirley traveled to Ceuta, a Spanish enclave on the coast of North Africa, to document the aftermath of a massive wave of Muslim migrants who had swum across the border after a Spanish court ruled that swimmers couldn't be deported. Within minutes of arriving, a man chased him through the streets with a knife while others threw rocks. The crowd did nothing to stop it. Shirley ran. He got out.

Shapiro plays footage of Arabic signs at Home Depot, pro-Hezbollah flags at the annual Arbaeen procession, and a mob chasing right-wing agitator Jake Lang through the streets while police watch.
