Trump's crackdown on migration

We speak to undocumented migrants in the US about their fears of being deported.

US President Donald Trump is visiting a new migrant detention facility, dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz". The facility, in the middle of a Miami swamp, was proposed by state lawmakers to support US President Donald Trump's deportation agenda. As Trump's crackdown on migrants intensifies, we speak to three undocumented migrants about what life is like for them.

We speak to journalists across Europe, as a heatwave sweeps the continent.

And as President Trump’s ban on trans people serving in the US military comes into force, we follow two long-serving transgender officers, who explain this means their military careers are almost certainly over.
