Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

U.S. Visa Process Missed San Bernardino Attacker’s Online Posts

HeadlineDec 14, 2015

Funerals continued over the weekend for the 14 people killed in the San Bernardino, California, shooting attacks by Tashfeen Malik and her husband Syed Rizwan Farook. The New York Times reports Malik passed three background checks by U.S. immigration authorities as she moved from Pakistan to the United States, despite her posts on social media saying she wanted to take part in violent jihad. Immigration authorities say they don’t routinely review social media as part of the background check process.
