The UK braces for over 100 protests tonight as far-right groups target immigration services and counter-protests are planned. With 6,000 riot officers deployed, authorities anticipate potential unrest. A list of 39 immigration law specialists’ offices and asylum support charities has circulated on social media, urging far-right demonstrators to “mask up.” Derek Drummond, 58, received a three-year prison sentence for violent disorder and assaulting an emergency worker. The Crown Prosecution Service reported 20 additional charges overnight, bringing the total to over 140. Home Secretary condemned rioters, promising repercussions.
