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.New Rangers signing Carlos Bocanegra has been given the green-light to join up with the rest of his team-mates after obtaining a visa.
The United States captain secured the necessary paperwork in Paris today and is set to arrive at Murray Park tomorrow.
The 32-year-old defender made his debut for the Light Blues in last week's Europa League play-off against Maribor in Slovenia, just hours after completing his move from French side St Etienne.
However, he was unable to feature in yesterday's Clydesdale Bank Premier League win at Motherwell because he did not have a visa.
Fellow American Alejandro Bedoya was in a similar situation and he hopes to obtain his own visa in Stockholm in the next 24 hours.
Bocanegra now looks set to feature in this week's second leg against Maribor at Ibrox.
However, Bedoya was not registered for the European competition and will be looking to make his debut in the weekend SPL clash with Aberdeen instead.
Rangers are also waiting on visa news from Australia on Matt McKay as he bids to complete his switch from Brisbane Roar.
