Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Far-Right Group Betar Says It Handed Trump Admin “Thousands of Names” of Deportation Targets

HeadlineMar 17, 2025

The far-right, pro-Israeli group Betar has taken credit for Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest and boasts it has a “deportation list” containing “thousands of names” that it sent to the Trump administration.

Meanwhile, Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania has suspended one student as it issued sanctions earlier this month for 15 pro-Palestinian student protesters. Swarthmore announced the penalties days after Trump threatened to rescind federal funding for schools that allow so-called illegal protests.
