Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Guillermo Rosales, 13, who stowed away in the wheel well of a Colombian jet survived sub-zero temperatures at 35,000ft on a three-hour flight across the Caribbean, AP reports from Miami. He tumbled out of the DC-8 in Miami unconscious and 'looking like a ball of snow,' according to employees of the Arca air cargo company, which ships flowers from Bogota.
Stowaways are normally sent back home immediately, but immigration officials made an exception in this case. A local television station reported that the boy wanted to visit an aunt in Miami.
