Thin on the left so far

Only 1 of the 8 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.

This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.

White House Border Czar Tom Homan said that British national Milo Yiannopoulos was detained and deported after his visa expired. Homan stated that this swift deportation is part of a new initiative to expedite removals. He explained that this process saves taxpayer money and detention space, as it allows for quicker processing of detainees once a judge orders their removal.

According to Homan, Yiannopoulos had an immigration hearing scheduled for July that he did not attend, which resulted in a deportation order. Homan also stated that ICE, in conjunction with Customs and Border Patrol through the Department of Homeland Security, is working to improve efficiencies in the removal process. He indicated that the goal is to reduce the average length of stay in detention and execute removal orders as soon as possible.

Disagreement on preferential treatment

RedState reported that Dana Bash asked Homan if Yiannopoulos was given preferential treatment for a quick departure instead of remaining in an ICE detention facility. Homan responded by saying, "No. We've been working steadily in the last few months on getting people out quicker." He added that the process saves taxpayer money and detention space.

What the coverage left out

Is Milo Yiannopoulos deported after visa expiry, says Border Czar left or right?
Too few of the outlets on this story carry a published leaning rating to say. 8 of them do, and this site does not characterise a field under 12: at that size one newsroom filing moves the share by ten points. The percentages above are the count as it stands.
Is the coverage of Milo Yiannopoulos deported after visa expiry, says Border Czar biased?
