Thin on the left so far
Only 1 of the 6 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.
This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.
Representative Al Green, a Democrat from Texas, has introduced a privileged resolution (H.Res.1486) that will force a vote in the House of Representatives on impeaching President Donald Trump. The resolution accuses Trump of high crimes and misdemeanors, specifically citing the deaths of four U.S. citizens at the hands of federal immigration officers. The incidents mentioned occurred in Minneapolis, Houston, and Maine.
Green's resolution was introduced on a Monday and uses a procedural tool that requires House leadership to schedule a vote within two legislative days. The resolution names Alex Pretti and Renee Good, who died in Minneapolis; Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who died in Houston; and Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, who died in Maine. Green stated that Trump transformed ICE and CBP into "dangerous, unaccountable paramilitary police forces that operate without oversight and pose a direct threat to the constitutional order of the United States and the people of the United States."
Disagreement on the resolution's purpose
The Gateway Pundit reported that Green's impeachment effort is for "enforcing immigration law." The outlet quoted White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis as saying, "This type of garbage is contributing to our law enforcement officers facing a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them."
What the coverage left out
None of the right-rated digests mention the White House's claim of a 1,300% increase in assaults on law-enforcement officers. The left-rated digest does not name the specific immigration officers involved in the four deaths cited in Green's resolution.
