US EditionReform considers legal challenges against asylum hotels
- Reform UK plans legal challenges against the government to block asylum seeker housing in areas they control, following recent local election gains on May 2, 2025.
- This action responds to Home Office contracts placing adult asylum seekers in hotels, which local councils can contest but have limited power to stop.
- Reform UK chairman Zia Yusuf said the party will use all legal instruments, including judicial reviews and injunctions, to resist asylum housing in their jurisdictions.
- Yusuf emphasized that Reform councillors will vigorously use all available powers to resist the housing of asylum seekers, and mentioned that legal teams are currently investigating whether converting hotels into hostels violates any regulations.
- The challenge suggests ongoing conflict between central government housing policies and newly empowered local authorities aiming to restrict asylum seeker placements.
