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.

Immigration Protests Held in Dallas & Outside Krome Detention Center in Florida

HeadlineMar 31, 2025

A number of immigration-related protests took place nationwide this weekend. In Florida, hundreds protested outside the Krome Detention Center, condemning what they described as “inhumane conditions” at the prison. Two men have died at Krome over the past two months. Meanwhile, thousands of protesters marched in Dallas, Texas, against Trump’s immigration policies. Hector Flores is president of the League of United Latin American Citizens.

Hector Flores: “We Latinos are the backbone of this great state. We build the buildings. We paint the murals. We cook the meals from every culture in every corner of this country. We are the architects, the artisans, the chefs, the caregivers, the teachers, the scientists. Look around you. Look at this wonderful multitude that are here. We all do the different work that has to be done in this country, that makes America great.”
