Anti-migrant protesters are celebrating today, with The Bell Hotel in Epping set to close its doors to asylum seekers after becoming a battleground over the summer on the issue.A High Court ruling ordered The Bell to stop housing migrants on a planning technicality. It did not receive the proper permission to switch its use from short-term stays to people living there for more than 30-day stretches, despite having run as such without incident for more than five years.A failed last-minute attempt by the Home Office to get the case dismissed laid out the department's concerns. The government barrister warned that any injunction could lead to other councils following suit, a development "that would aggravate the pressures on the asylum estate."He also warned that granting the injunction would “"run the risk of acting as an impetus for further violent protests".Those appeals were unsuccessful. And now the government is having to work out where those asylum seekers will now live. If other councils follow suit - and succeed - it could become a major political crisis.

Asylum Seekers Used as Political Pawns Asylum seekers are being turned into political scapegoats. In a climate shaped by fear, hostility, and the rise of far-right rhetoric from parties like Reform UK, those fleeing war and persecution face rejection instead of refuge. What's driving this shift and where does our responsibility lie in standing for justice and protecting the vulnerable?

Ashraf Essop, an immigration law specialist, and Professor Loren Landau, an expert in migration and development from Oxford and Wits, unpack the legal, social, and moral implications of growing hostility towards asylum seekers in South Africa. This follows a disturbing incident in which Operation Dudula members attempted to shut down a local clinic, demanding that foreign nationals be denied access to healthcare. Despite the public outrage, such actions persist—often ignoring the Refugees Act and South Africa’s international legal obligations, which guarantee asylum seekers access to essential services. With the asylum system already overwhelmed and public sentiment increasingly volatile, the guests explore what South Africans need to understand about the rights of refugees—and what’s at stake if we continue down this path of exclusion and vigilantism. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

On Tuesday, two asylum seekers were arrested at the Portland Immigration Court after they showed up for scheduled hearings. After attorneys from the Portland-based Innovation Law Lab filed habeas corpus petitions on the asylum seekers’ behalf, a federal judge ordered the government to not move them out of Oregon without first providing notice and to wait for at least two days. The Innovation Law Lab is also representing two other asylum seekers who were arrested under similar circumstances at the Portland Immigration Court and who are being detained at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington. In recent days, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have ramped up arrests and deportations at workplaces and courthouses around the nation. Those tactics have sparked a wave of growing protests and clashes with law enforcement in Portland and other cities, including Los Angeles, where President Trump controversially ordered the deployment of the California National Guard and Marines to support federal immigration enforcement in the region. Innovation Law Lab’s legal director, Jordan Cunnings, joins us to share more details about the asylum seekers arrested in Portland and the legal issues surrounding their cases.
