The Independent funds on-the-ground reporting across topics including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, and produces documentaries highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet avoids paywalls, relying on donations to support journalists who interview both sides and investigate matters such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC. The Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, indicated that the government is considering industrial and military sites, including warehouses, to house asylum seekers as part of plans to reduce migrant hotel use. Labour pledged to end asylum hotels by 2029 but faces pressure to accelerate changes after violent protests outside several sites.
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.
The home secretary said that the government was considering industrial and military sites to house asylum seekers under plans to reduce the number of migrant hotels. In an interview with LBC on Tuesday morning, Ms Cooper said that warehouses were one of the things that's been looked at. She added that the Home Office would provide updates when we've got the practical plans, but said that they were exploring alternative sites, more appropriate sites, including looking at military and industrial sites as well.
