Tracking attacks on immigrants, workers, activists, and the free press — including Trump’s effort to dismantle Voice of America.

June 03, 2025

Hi there,

It’s Tuesday. Today, we’re tracking intensifying crackdowns on immigrants, journalists, workers, and activists — from ICE agents arresting a teen on his way to volleyball practice to immigration courts erasing asylum seekers without due process.

As attacks on civil liberties escalate at home, the Trump administration is also working to dismantle Voice of America — one of the last standing symbols of U.S.-backed, independent journalism abroad.

🖊️Sign our petition to protect press freedom and stop the shutdown of Voice of America.
