ICE Agent Faces Charges for Off-Duty Highway Gunpoint Incident

0:00On April 16th, a 35-year-old ICE agent named Gregory Donald Morgan Jr. faces two counts of second-degree aggravated assault after allegedly pulling his service gun on two people in a car during rush hour on a Minneapolis highway back on February 5th. He was off duty, heading to the federal building and an unmarked rental SUV stuck on the shoulder amid traffic when another driver merged over briefly. To get him to ease up, unaware he was law enforcement, then pulled back into the lane. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty called it the first criminal charges against the federal immigration officer tied to the Trump era's aggressive. Raids in spots like Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland, and New Orleans stressing his move when way beyond any official duties. Charging papers show Morgan admitted pulling alongside, drawing his weapon, and yelling police stop, but the victims had their windows up and heard. Nothing, turning a tense traffic moment into a felony threat.

1:00With an arrest warrant active and up to seven years on the line if convicted, this case draws a hard line. No blanket protection for feds crossing into. Stay crimes, keeping the pressure on accountability in these high stakes enforcement days.
