Media split on US-born children sent with deported mothers: Bias Breakdown

In this week’s episode of Bias Breakdown, we analyze an immigration case dominating the news cycle. Two women from Honduras, who were in the country illegally, received deportation orders from ICE. On Friday, they were sent back to their country of origin—along with their U.S.-born children.Left-leaning outlets focus on due process concerns and claims that the children should not have been removed, while right-leaning outlets emphasize the mothers’ legal custody and their decision to take the children.In Episode 19 of Bias Breakdown, we examine how divided media coverage is shaping public perception, with outlets presenting the case as if arguing before a jury—each trying to persuade its audience through a political lens.
