BIG NEWS: Aida Chávez Joins Migrant Insider
A fearless reporter known for exposing the politics of immigration joins our team to press ICE, grill lawmakers, and center migrant voices.
Dear Reader,
We’ve got some news I’ve been dying to share. Migrant Insider is growing — and today we welcome Aida Chávez to the team as our newest immigration reporter.

If you’ve followed politics and immigration over the last few years, you’ve probably already read her work. Aida’s bylines span The Intercept, The Nation, More Perfect Union, and more. She’s spent countless hours in the Capitol’s back hallways and immigrant communities alike, holding lawmakers accountable and amplifying stories that rarely break through. She’s sharp, unflinching, and has a knack for finding the human truth buried under Washington spin.
Now she’s bringing that firepower here, to Migrant Insider. Aida will be digging into Trump’s mass deportation machine, tracking every bill, raid, and courtroom fight — and elevating the voices of people living through it. In a moment like this, her reporting isn’t just timely. It’s urgent.
This is the newsroom we’re building together. One where immigration isn’t an afterthought — it’s the front page, every day.
But here’s the real talk: hiring reporters like Aida takes resources. Migrant Insider runs on reader support. Every subscription, every donation, is what allows us to bring in talent like her — and what will allow us to keep expanding until immigration has the relentless coverage it deserves.

Onward,
Pablo
