The decision by appeal court judges to allow asylum seekers to remain at the Bell Hotel in Epping is a victory for the Home Office. But where should asylum seekers go, if not hotels?

The asylum seeker living in a migrant hotel, whose arrest sparked protests in the Essex town of Epping, was yesterday convicted of sexually assaulting a woman and a teenage girl. Under the law, asylum seekers sentenced to more than 12 months in prison should be deported. But the very fact that they've come to Britain saying they face torture or persecution in their home country means they can appeal. So should all criminal asylum seekers be deported?

When 94% of Eritrean and 99% of Sudanese asylum seekers are ultimately granted refugee status, the government should establish safe and legal routes for these countries, or at the very least, fast-track their asylum applications. Student refugee visas and community-support/business-support schemes cannot be the only safe routes for refugees. We should not be offering asylum protection based on qualifications, but on the level of need for sanctuary. A person fleeing war is not more deserving of safety because they can “contribute” more.

The Leader of Essex County Council is demanding that the Government ditches plans, set to be announced this evening (Thursday June 25 2026), to increase the numbers of asylum seekers at the Wethersfield camp in Essex by more than 60%. Later this evening the Government will announce plans to utilise the full capacity at Wethersfield, increasing numbers from the current 766 to 1,245, the current maximum ‘surge capacity’ because of the closure of 20 more asylum hotels. “I have a simple message for the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood – Enough is enough. We are not a dumping ground for the result of a failing asylum system. “Closing hotels is one thing but shifting the impact onto Essex communities is unacceptable and this is what will result from this increase. “Those impacts are felt by people in towns and cities miles from Wethersfield itself – in Braintree, Colchester, and Chelmsford – because that is where the men living at Wethersfield are bussed to and from every week. “As a consequence, our police are having to deal with incidents of illegal migrants with nothing to do with their time but hang around town centres and get into trouble, committing numerous crimes, behaving anti-socially and harassing people including women and girls. This stretches police resources as well as our own public health and mental health capacity. “Essex County Council has said from the very beginning that the location of Wethersfield – in a rural heartland 11 miles from the nearest town – is completely wrong for a facility of this nature. “I will be seeking an urgent meeting with the Government, and local partners including our Police, Crime and Fire Commissioner to challenge this latest afront to our residents.” Cllr Peter Harris, Leader of Essex County Council.

NEW: “America's doors are closed fully to asylum seekers…” White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller says they have agreements with other countries to take asylum seekers. He says every asylum claim is fraudulent as they’re not being persecuted—He says they should have sought asylum in another country before arriving to the U.S. adding that “in every case, they’re either criminals, benefit seekers, economic migrants, welfare seekers, etc…” Miller went on to say that they know exactly what they’re doing when they pay the cartels (foreign terrorist organizations) to get across the southern border calling it “sinful.”
