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.

Immigration appeal body

The Government will move to bring immigration law into line with European rulings if time permits. A Bill would provide a right of appeal for individuals liable to deportation on grounds of national security, setting up a new body with decision-making powers to consider such appeals. Now, a non- British citizen has no appeal where the Home Secretary regards deportation in the public interest based on national security.
