Sujeitos deportáveis: os Enquadramentos da cobertura jornalística sobre os brasileiros deportados em janeiro de 2025.

Abstract

This study investigates the news framing of the journalistic coverage concerning the deportation of 88 Brazilians by the United States on January 24, 2025, an event in which immigrants arrived in Manaus handcuffed and shackled. The objective is to analyze how the news portals G1 and CNN Brasil framed the state violence inflicted upon the deportees, based on the theoretical contributions of Abramo (2016), Butler (2015; 2019), De Genova (2002), and Stumpf (2006). This qualitative and documentary research examines 15 articles published between January 24 and 27, 2025, applying categories such as patterns of manipulation and officialism (Abramo, 2016), alongside the concepts of deportability (De Genova, 2002), crimmigration (Stumpf, 2006), and the notions of framing and precarity (Butler, 2015; 2019). The analysis reveals that the coverage utilized criminalizing narratives, a hierarchy of official sources, and the decontextualization of violent imagery, which reiterated the dehumanization of migrant bodies and predisposed public sentiment to legitimize violence.
