EPPING: Hundreds of protesters gathered again Sunday outside a hotel in southern England at the focus of a legal battle over migrants, calling for foreign criminals to be deported. The Bell Hotel in Epping, northeast London, became a flashpoint for protests in July after an asylum seeker staying there was charged with sexual assault for attempting to kiss a 14-year-old girl. The man charged has denied the allegation. The demonstrations have since spread to other parts of Britain, at times turning violent.

The Court of Appeal is set to rule on whether migrants can be removed from a hotel in Essex.

The Home Office and Somani Hotels, which owns the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, today successfully overturned a High Court ruling ordering them to remove all 138 residents.
