The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech and relies on reader donations to fund reporting without paywalls. The outlet investigates political financing and produces documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donor support funds journalists who report from the ground and present multiple perspectives. Court of Appeal judges revoked a ban on housing asylum seekers at The Bell Hotel in Epping after finding errors in a High Court injunction. Epping Forest District Council had sought the injunction following violent protests sparked by an arrest. Essex Police have officers stationed at the hotel and a significant policing plan.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
But in a definitive win for the Home Office on Friday, the Court of Appeal found that High Court judge Mr Justice Eyre made a series of errors when he granted the injunction, which would have seen all 138 asylum seekers housed there removed by 12 September. Essex Police had officers stationed at the hotel after the judgment was delivered and is understood to have a significant policing plan in place in case the ruling sparks further unrest.
