• Foreign Journalists Face Deportation Amid USAGM Cuts
  The Trump administration's executive order to dismantle the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) has placed over 1,300 journalists, including many foreign nationals, on leave. This action jeopardizes the legal status of at least 84 journalists on work visas, with 23 facing immediate arrest or imprisonment if deported to their home countries. These journalists, who have provided critical reporting in authoritarian regimes, now fear persecution upon return. Lawsuits have been filed to challenge the funding cuts and protect these individuals, highlighting the intersection of press freedom and immigration policy.​AP News
