- Tensions escalated as protesters chanted "shame on you" and "deport the lot" while blocking ambulances, though police maintained a cordon on Haslar Road to facilitate peaceful protest.
- The provisional total for English Channel crossings this year is 19,451, down 43% from this time last year and 23% below the figure at this stage in 2024.
