Protesters gather in a rally under the motto "protect our border" in Dover, England amid a growing influx of illegal migrants, coming to Britain from France via the strait. Antifa and the Kent Anti-Racism Network (KARN) are expected to stage several counter-protests in a bid to disrupt the march.

At least 5,000 migrants have crossed the Channel into Britain so far in 2020, with 1,800 migrants arriving in the country via the Channel in 2019, according to official data. Earlier this week, UK authorities intercepted a record 416 migrants in a single day.
