Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Genuine overseas students at the troubled London Metropolitan University have won a reprieve from the threat of deportation.
The High Court yesterday granted an application from the university for a judicial review of the UK Border Agency's decision to revoke its licence to teach overseas students – which had threatened up to 2,600 students at the university with deportation.
Mr Justice Irwin granted students at the university and those due to start courses this term who have bona fide credentials permission to continue with their studies – thus removing the threat.
However, he refused to suspend the order revoking the licence which will mean the university is unable to recruit any new students.
