Is the coverage of DHS investigated Minnesota left-wing groups after Border Patrol killed… biased?

DHS investigated Minnesota left-wing groups after Border Patrol killed Alex Pretti is one event reported by 14 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased. What it publishes is the spread: which outlets ran it, where named rating organisations place each of them on the spectrum, and what each side chose to lead with. A leaning rating describes an outlet's record over time, not this article, and the two should not be run together.

Which groups were targeted by the DHS investigation?

The Department of Homeland Security investigated left-wing groups in Minnesota, including the Sunrise Movement, AFL-CIO, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Democratic Socialists of America, and Direct Action Minnesota. The probe focused on organisations involved in protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents.

What methods did DHS use in the investigation?

DHS used administrative subpoenas to obtain financial records from Sunrise Movement, Communications Workers of America, and SEIU.

The investigation concluded without evidence but led to the indictment of 15 organisers.
