After the High Court allowed Epping Forest Council to obtain an injunction to remove migrants from the Bell Hotel, dozens of councils across England are instructing legal teams to explore similar evictions. Nigel Farage said 12 local authorities under Reform UK control will take legal advice to remove what he described as a threat posed by migrants. Andrew Husband of Durham Council ordered legal teams to map potential defences and to monitor hotels and HMOs to prevent the Home Office placing asylum seekers. Reform's Laura Jones called the outcome a victory for common sense and urged detention and deportation of undocumented male entrants.
"I have already challenged our legal team to start mapping out a defence should we face a similar challenge, on the back of this injunction. "It is certainly something councils can learn from and a great example of people-power underpinned with common sense. Something this Labour Government seems to overlook." He added, "I would rather this serves as a warning to those planning to do something similar in our county. Whether in hotels or HMO's, we will fight back in County Durham."
"This is a victory for common sense and for what is right, and represents a victory for the vast majority people in our country with grave concerns about what is happening to our country. "Young, undocumented males who break into the UK illegally should NOT be free to walk the streets anywhere. They must be detained and deported."
