Around 200 demonstrators gathered outside the Epping Forest District Council building around 6pm on August 31, where a woman climbed the steps and unfurled a Union flag.
It came after the Government won a court challenge on Friday, meaning 138 asylum seekers can continue to be housed at the Bell Hotel in the Essex town.
Police placed various restrictions on the protest, including designating an area for protestors to gather and a fixed route for a march to follow, as well as restrictions on face coverings.
Officers were granted extra powers to enforce these restrictions, and two people have been charged for breaching them.
Sarah White, 40, of Luxborough Lane, Chigwell was arrested on suspicion of breaching the Section 14 order.
This order designated the only area where public assembly could take place as an area marked by low level fencing across the road from The Bell and stipulated all protest activity had to end by 8pm.
She has now been charged with failing to comply with the conditions of participation of a procession and being a public procession organiser failing to comply with a notice.
She is due to appear at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court on October 15. She has been released on conditional bail until that time.
Scott Davey, 32, of Wheelers Close, Nazeing, was also arrested on suspicion of breaching a Section 14 order and has been charged with failing to comply with the conditions of participation in a public assembly.
He has been released on conditional bail and is due to appear at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court on October 31.
A 22-year-old man from Epping who was arrested on suspicion of inciting racial hatred and racially or religiously aggravated criminal damage has been released on conditional bail until November 28.
He was arrested in connection with an investigation into allegations a banner has been set alight on August 29.
Assistant Chief Constable Stuart Hooper said: “We’ve consistently said that we’ll always seek to facilitate lawful protest and we have done that throughout this summer.
“We put plans in place on Sunday to prevent serious disruption to the lives of our Epping residents, which remains at the forefront of our minds, as well as to prevent serious disorder, violent, and damage to property.
“There has been suggestion on social media that we made an arrest on Sunday because someone unfurled a flag.
“I want to be really clear – that is categorically wrong. Any suggestion that this was the case is completely false.
“Unfurling or putting up a flag is not a criminal offence, and nobody has been arrested for doing that.”
A Section 14 order was put in place which designated the area where public assembly could only take place to be an area marked by low level fencing across the road from The Bell and stipulated all protest activity had to end by 8pm.
A Section 12 order was put in place which directed that the route of any procession between Theydon Road and Lindsey Street had to follow a route from The Bell down the High Road and High Street to the area of the Civic Offices and then back to The Bell.
A Section 60AA order was also put in place which gave officers the power to direct people to remove face coverings intended to conceal their identity, or face arrest.
