The Independent balances critical reporting on various national issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and immigration. A notable case involved Jorge Gomez, a Nicaraguan refugee facing complications with an eVisa application that hindered his ability to visit family. Despite his status, technical problems left him unable to secure the necessary documents. His situation highlights systemic challenges faced by foreign nationals. The Independent’s intervention with the Home Office ultimately resolved the issue, showcasing the importance of journalistic involvement in advocating for individuals in vulnerable situations.
"I've applied for the eVisa three times. I've tried to create an account, tried to link it up, and it doesn't work. I got an email from the Home Office, saying it was sorted, but in reality it wasn't."
"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."
