Dozens of migrants taken to Dover after more than 30 hours at sea
- On Tuesday, far-right activist Danny Tommo filmed himself slashing a migrant dinghy in the Channel while a rescue crew member was onboard; police confirmed they are "conducting inquiries" into the livestreamed footage.
- Following rumors the vessel would dock at Haslar Marina, hundreds of activists gathered in Gosport, Hampshire, on Tuesday night; local MP Dame Caroline Dinenage said the Home Office indicated it was "increasingly likely" migrants would disembark locally.
- Hampshire Police deployed officers to manage the protest, arresting six people for careless driving, assaulting an emergency worker, and aggravated trespass; all remain in custody as investigations continue.
- The migrant vessel bypassed Gosport and docked in Dover, Kent, early Wednesday; Border Security Command took custody of 51 migrants who had spent 33 hours at sea after refusing French rescue assistance.
- Some 17,480 migrants have crossed the Channel so far this year, down 46% from the same point last year, including 5,011 arrivals since Prime Minister Andy Burnham took office.
