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. ## Who covered it Shares of the 6 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 17% (1) - Centre: 16% (1) - Right: 67% (4) 0 of 6 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.

The digest noted that "Rep. Green appears to only be thinking about himself," quoting an unnamed House Democrat. ### Centre - Political Wire, the centre-rated report, focused on the procedural aspect of Green's action. Its headline stated, "Al Green to Force House Vote to Impeach Trump." The digest reported that Green "announced on Monday that he intends to force a vote on impeaching President Donald Trump, citing federal immigration officers' killing of two U.S. citizens earlier this year." ### Right - The right-rated reports from Deseret News, The Gateway Pundit, wfmd.com, and Fox News all focused on Representative Al Green's action to force a vote on impeaching President Trump. Deseret News's headline read, "House Democrat forces Trump impeachment vote over ICE." The Gateway Pundit's headline stated, "Rep. Al Green Moves to Force Trump Impeachment Vote This Week, This Time for Enforcing Immigration Law." Fox News and wfmd.com used similar headlines: "Democrat Al Green to force House-wide vote on impeaching Trump." - Deseret News quoted Green saying, "The President is reducing American democracy to an authoritarian regime." The outlet also noted that Green lost his primary election earlier in the summer and will not be in Congress next year. The Gateway Pundit described Green as a "Rejected Houston Democrat" and a "lame-duck Houston Democrat." It also quoted White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis stating, "This type of garbage is contributing to our law enforcement officers facing a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them." **Provisional coverage gap:** left.
