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.The beleaguered security firm G4S has suspended two employees after a High Court judge said officials at an immigration removal centre had falsified a document that had led to an asylum seeker being returned home, where he was beaten with a metal rod.
Mr Justice Mostyn said three G4S employees – Tamara Burns, Matthew Newman and Marilyn Bennett, who no longer works for the firm, – conspired to “corruptly redact” a certificate which strengthened the case against an immigrant.
The man claimed he had been beaten with a heated metal rod on arrival at his country of origin after UK officials refused to remove paperwork from his luggage identifying him with anti-government groups in that country.
