Police in Portsmouth are looking for the people who caused trouble during recent anti-migrant protests. The protests brought hundreds of people into the streets. Many of the men involved were wearing masks.
Some reports describe a group of men dressed in black who acted like a vigilante group. A vigilante group is a group of people who take the law into their own hands instead of waiting for the police. These men were linked to Christian groups and used live-streaming apps to call people to come out and protest.
Government officials have spoken out against these events. A UK government minister officially condemned the protests, saying this kind of behavior is not acceptable.
Journalists and experts are now looking into why these groups are targeting British ports. They want to know how these protests are organized and why so many people are showing up to block or shout at migrants arriving in the country.
Right now, police are going through footage from cameras and social media videos to figure out who was behind the disorder. They want to hold those responsible for the chaos accountable.
