Hi there,

As the future of democracy in the United States hangs in the balance, the need for courageous independent media is more important than ever. Our reporting centers the voices of people routinely excluded from corporate and government-run media, such as those raising deep questions about war and peace, demanding an end to our global reliance on fossil fuels. Because we are audience-supported, we need your help today. Can you donate $15 to Democracy Now! today to support independent media? From now until Giving Tuesday, a group of generous donors will TRIPLE your gift, which means your $15 donation is worth $45. Please help us air in-depth, substantive coverage of the outcome of the election and what it means for our collective future. Thank you so much! Every dollar makes a difference.

-Amy Goodman

ProPublica: McKinsey Helped Trump Speed Up Mass Deportation Program

HeadlineDec 04, 2019

An explosive new ProPublica investigation reveals how the consulting giant McKinsey & Company helped the Trump administration speed up its mass deportation program. McKinsey proposed cuts to spending on food, medical care and supervision of people in immigration jails — measures that were considered too harsh by some Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. The McKinsey team also looked for ways to accelerate deportations, which raised concerns among some ICE officials about due process protections for immigrants appealing their removal from the United States. McKinsey now has a new $2 million contract with Customs and Border Protection.
