Anti-migrant protests continued across Britain on Sunday, fueled by concerns over immigration and the high cost of housing asylum seekers in hotels. These protests, some involving clashes between opposing groups, follow a recent sexual assault charge against a migrant housed in a hotel. The government faces pressure to address public concerns and the high cost of hotel accommodations, pledging to reform the asylum appeals process to speed up decisions and end hotel use. A court ordered the removal of asylum seekers from one hotel, a decision the government plans to appeal. Meanwhile, a populist party leader proposed mass deportations and other drastic measures.
