An immigration and customs enforcement agent named Gregory Donald Morgan Jr., 34-years-old, just got hit with felony assault charges for. Pointing his gun at two drivers during rush hour in Minneapolis, Hinnepin County attorney Mary Moriarty, laid it out clear at a news conference, saying Morgan recklessly pulled up next to their car on highway, 62. He pulled down his window and aimed his duty weapon right at them while driving on the shoulder. This all went down during the Trump era's Operation Metro Surge, when 3,000 federal immigration agents flooded into Minnesota for what they, called the biggest department of Homeland Security push ever. Morgan was in an unmarked Ford expedition with Utah plates, a rental tie to another ice worker, and the victims had no clue he was a cop since there, were zero markings or lights. The two people in the car spotted a handgun, maybe a glock or six hour, with a red dot

Folks are talking about how this shakes trust in federal ops, especially with out-of-state plates and no clear ID during heavy traffic. Investigators pieced it together using traffic cams and licensed plate readers, and Morgan admitted he drew his glock 19 after someone swerved in. Front of him, yelling police stop to back them off. But his own partner in the back seat said the gun was already out the window before the yell, and Morgan s boss confirmed he never filed any report on, the incident. Now there s a nationwide warrant out, so expect Morgan to get arrested and ship back to Hennepin County to face the music, as this case highlights. The risks when federal agents roll deep without proper markings.
