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.

Accused Human Traffickers Andrew and Tristan Tate Return to Florida as U.S. Lifts Travel Ban

HeadlineFeb 28, 2025

A self-described misogynist who’s accused by Romanian authorities of human trafficking and rape has arrived in the United States after the Trump administration lifted travel restrictions on him. Andrew Tate, a far-right social media influencer and prominent Trump supporter, returned to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Thursday along with his brother Tristan, who also faces human trafficking charges in Romania. The pair’s return came after Romania’s foreign minister told the AP a Trump administration official expressed interest in the brothers’ case at the recent Munich Security Conference.
