BIASES
Victim-centered framing: the articles prioritize testimony from loved ones and witnesses over the official ICE account, with Mexico City's government and community at the forefront.Preference is given to Mexican government sources (SRE, presidential press conference) and local Houston authorities, with little attention to the DHS's account, as the Mexican government's perspective takes precedence.Limited coverage of ICE operations' national statistics, with a focus on individual cases involving Mexican and Colombian nationals, highlighting the impact on Mexico's citizens.
