Councils across England are poised to take legal action to remove asylum seekers from hotels in their areas.
It comes after the High Court granted a district council a temporary injunction to block asylum seekers from lodging at The Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex.
Thousands of people have protested near the hotel in recent weeks after an asylum seeker living there was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in the town.
Now, all 12 councils controlled by Reform UK will "do everything in their power to follow Epping’s lead", the party’s leader Nigel Farage said. A Conservative-run council in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, also said it is considering taking similar action.
Border Security Minister Dame Angela Eagle said the government will "continue working with local authorities and communities to address legitimate concerns".
