Analysis
Center-leaning sources frame the story as an indictment of federal immigration enforcement by using emotive language (e.g., “brutalizing,” “soulless rush”), privileging activist and Democratic perspectives while treating official statements skeptically, and ordering details to highlight state violence. Editorial choices—loaded verbs, selective sourcing, curated quotes, and narrative sequencing—produce moral outrage beyond mere source content.
