What the coverage shows
Most outlets center the same basic frame: an ICE officer shot a man in Austin, with protests, criticism, and calls for investigation following quickly after. CBS News, CNN, ABC News, The Guardian US and the AP identify the man more specifically as a DoorDash or delivery driver, while Fox News is the only outlet to foreground a fight over deportation in its headline.
