Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Judge Blocks Trump’s Order Ending Protections for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans & Venezuelans

HeadlineApr 16, 2025

A federal judge in Massachusetts has ruled against the Trump administration, temporarily blocking its attempt to revoke deportation protection and work permits for an estimated half a million people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela living in the U.S. under a humanitarian parole program. Guerline Jozef, executive director of the Haitian Bridge Alliance, said in a statement, “Hundreds of thousands of our neighbors will go to sleep tonight knowing that the Trump administration’s attempts to delegitimize and criminalize our communities have been thwarted, for now. This win is a testament to the power and dedication of our communities.”
