US EditionKemi Badenoch suggests putting asylum seekers in ‘migrant camps’
EPPING, ESSEX, AUG 11 – Kemi Badenoch suggests policed camps for asylum seekers as an alternative to hotel housing amid protests and political calls to close a hotel in Epping, Essex.
- Kemi Badenoch, Conservative MP for North West Essex, visited Epping in 2025 amid ongoing anti-migrant protests centered on the Bell Hotel housing asylum seekers.
- The protests intensified during summer following incidents, including an asylum seeker charged with sexual harassment and rising Channel crossings nearing 50,000 since Labour won last year.
- Badenoch proposed housing asylum seekers in policed camps as an alternative to hotels, urging quicker reforms and emphasizing community safety amid claims that outdated immigration rules from 1995, 2005, and 2015 are unsuitable for 2025.
- She suggested exploring the creation of designated camps and policing strategies that minimize disruption to local communities, emphasized the importance of listening to community-driven solutions, and highlighted that residents should have priority at protests.
- The situation suggests increasing political pressure to reform immigration policies, manage asylum accommodation carefully, and address local concerns as the government plans to close asylum hotels and expand deportation schemes.
