West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced the enforcement of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in the state, stating that illegal immigrants not covered under the Act will be arrested and handed over to the Border Security Force (BSF) for deportation. This announcement was made during a press conference on Wednesday, emphasizing the state's commitment to border security and immigration control.

Coverage diverges in how the outlets frame the implications of Adhikari's announcement. The Times of India presents a straightforward report focusing on the enforcement of the CAA and the deportation process. In contrast, The Hindu emphasizes a broader policy context, using terms like "detect, delete, and deport" to highlight the government's stringent approach to illegal immigration. The Hindu's framing suggests a more aggressive stance on border security, while the Times of India maintains a more neutral tone.

What's missing from the coverage is a discussion on the potential impacts of these policies on migrant communities and the legal implications of enforcing the CAA. This absence may reflect a blind spot in the reporting from both the center and left-leaning outlets, which do not address the concerns raised by human rights advocates regarding the treatment of illegal immigrants.
