The left outlet adds a detail that some visas were revoked from people who celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk, framing revocations partly around political speech, while the right outlets focus on the raw figure and the 'criminal activity' rationale without mentioning the Kirk-related revocations. The right coverage uses the colloquial verb 'yanked' in headlines.
