Analysis: 21 Savage arrested by immigration enforcement

BY ANDREW WRIGHT


In the Star Tribune article, "Grammy-nominated rapper 21 Savage in US immigration custody," the author begins the article by stating what event happened to the notable music artist and where the event occurred.

The author makes sure to point out 21 Savage's relevance to society and pop culture by including that 21 Savage is a Grammy-nominated rapper. The author also makes clear to point out that 21 Savage is in immigration custody but doesn’t elaborate on that point in the lead. The lead does a good job of notifying readers the main point of the article without explaining the details of the situation to try and get the audience to continue reading the story.

The author decided to exclude when, why, and how 21 Savage’s arrest occurred. The story is currently ongoing, which could explain why the author excluded when the event occurred from the lead. The author expanded upon why 21 Savage was taken into custody later in the article and thus did not include it in the lead. Nothing appeared controversial about 21 Savage’s detainment except for the fact that the artist was arrested, which could be shocking. Otherwise, the author did not see a point that was worth including how 21 Savage was detained.

Analysis: Immigration community

BY ANDREW WRIGHT For this week's analysis, I found an article from the Associated Press that covers President Trump's remarks about sending illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities as a way to teach the cities a lesson for not working with Trump on his immigration policy. The author of the article sourced Trump and parts of his administration when the president and his press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders discussed the idea of sending illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities. Additionally, the author sourced immigration organizations and attorneys in sanctuary cities o cover the pro-immigration side of the debate as a contrast to President Trump's anti-immigration idea. The author used an analysis from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University to report on statistics and data about immigrant populations in sanctuary cities and the probability of immigrants being arrested compared to immigrants living in non-sanctuary cities. In any immigra

Analysis: The Daily

For this week's analysis, I listened to the most recent episode of the New York Times' podcast The Daily. On this episode, the podcast talks about the release of the Mueller report and what information was found in the investigation.  The podcast progressed by explaining different aspects of the Mueller report and going over the information Mueller found in relation to Trump's relationship to Russia. The podcast starts out by Mueller's reporting on the accusations of collusion with Russia by the Trump administration. Then, the podcasts shifts to discussing accusations of obstruction of justice against Trump.  The podcast included two reporters as guests who spent a large amount of time reading the Mueller report. The two guests explained what they read in the report to clarify what was said in the report, what information the special counsel found in its investigation and what charges, if any, were found during the investigation.  The podcast included sound b

Man arrested after threatening to kill Rep. Ilhan Omar

BY ANDREW WRIGHT A New York man was arrested and charged Friday after her threatened to murder Rep. Ilhan Omar, according to NBC News. Patrick W. Carlineo Jr., 55, called Omar's office in late March and made threatening remarks to the staff member who answered the phone. "She’s a [expletive] terrorist. I’ll put a bullet in her [expletive] skull,” Carlineo said on the phone call. Carlineo's threats continue a series of hostilities toward Omar. Back in February, graffiti calling for Omar's assassination was investigated by the FBI. Additionally, according to the Washington Post,  Fox News host Jeanine Pirro made antagonistic and racist remarks about Omar's Islamic faith. "Is [Omar's] adherence to this Islamic doctrine [wearing a hijab] indicative of her adherence to sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution,” Pirro said last month. Omar continues to be berated by racist remarks and receive death threats because
