- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Every source for this story reports from United States.
Luis Manuel Aviles, a 48 year old Nicaraguan national and handyman in Key West, Florida, was arrested by Border Patrol agents on Saturday. Aviles has lived in the United States for 19 years and his wife stated that he possesses a work permit. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that Aviles remains in ICE custody while the government seeks to deport him.
Aviles is the father of Joshua Aviles, a sailor currently deployed in the Middle East aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. Joshua Aviles has been working 12 hour shifts for over 250 days without a break. His sister, Katherine Delgado, stated that Joshua joined the military partly to improve his father's chances of obtaining citizenship.
The Department of Homeland Security stated that having a family member in the military is not a free pass to violate national laws and that the Trump administration does not pick and choose which laws to enforce. This arrest occurs as the administration pursues a mass deportation agenda. While military parole in place allows some family members of service members to obtain legal status, it does not apply to everyone, including those who overstayed visas.
Reports from a center left perspective frame the arrest as part of a broader rollback of immigration protections for military families, noting that at least six family members have been deported. This perspective also highlights deteriorating mental health and supply shortages aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. In contrast, the center source focuses on the specific event of the arrest and the family's personal situation.
