Part 5/13:
Ireland has recently published alarming statistics showing that out of every 100 migrants housed at illegal migrant hotels, one is wanted for or charged with an alleged offense. These figures intensify fears among local communities regarding safety and security.
Residents' concerns grew further after reports of serious allegations involving some migrants’ behavior. Local parents and community members protested to protect their children, demanding the removal of these contentious hotels from their neighborhoods.
The confrontation with pro-immigration advocates and subsequent police escorting of protestors drew sharp scrutiny. Critics questioned the police's decision to escort protesters to a highly charged environment, which many felt was likely to ignite violence and social unrest.
