Police have arrested protesters in angry scenes outside an Epping migrants hotel at the centre of a Government court case - with warnings of more demos to come.
Three men were detained after police officers were injured during a protest outside a hotel used to house asylum seekers in the east London town.
The clashes outside the Bell Hotel came after the Government won a court challenge which means asylum seekers can continue to be housed at the Essex hotel.
A fresh wave of action is planned after that court verdict - while a group of councils reportedly aim to press ahead with separate legal challenges aimed at ending the use of hotels to accommodate migrants in their areas.
Essex Police said today that one man was arrested on suspicion of violent disorder, a second man was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer.
