Home Office seeks to appeal against court ruling on Epping asylum hotel

The UK Home Office seeks to appeal a court ruling preventing asylum seekers from being housed in an Essex hotel by Epping Forest District Council. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper aims to ensure a managed closure of all asylum hotels to avoid further community disruption, following recent protests in Epping. The government plans to fight against the injunction to prioritize a structured transition for asylum seekers and address community concerns.
