The UK Home Office is establishing a new national police unit, the National Internet Intelligence Investigations Team (NIII), tasked with monitoring social media for early signs of anti-migrant protests and public dissent amid concerns over summer unrest. This initiative coincides with the implementation of new online safety laws that limit the visibility of content shared by unverified users. Detectives from across the UK will be seconded to this elite team to maximize surveillance of social media activity related to migrant issues. Recent weeks have seen escalating tensions, including protests and clashes outside hotels housing asylum seekers in London and its outskirts, such as Epping, where an asylum seeker was accused of sexual assault. These demonstrations have involved confrontations between police, anti-migrant activists, and left-wing anti-racism groups. The new policing approach reflects a shift toward intensified digital monitoring of dissent linked to migration topics.
