Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Obama Admin Deported 369,000 in 2013

HeadlineDec 20, 2013

The Obama administration says it deported 369,000 immigrants during the past fiscal year. That’s a 10 percent decrease over last year’s record of 410,000, marking the first time deportations have dropped during Obama’s tenure. In a statement, Marisa Franco of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network said, “The biggest fear of immigrant families is becoming a number in the statistics released today. No matter what direction the numbers go in, the fear entrenched in people’s lives won’t be removed until the threat is eliminated and that can only be done by a president who recognizes the error of his ways and reverses course on the dragnet he’s built.”
