"Hennepin county attorney Mary Moriarty stated that this is believed to be the first criminal case against a federal immigration officer involved in the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, which intensified federal presence in various cities."
"The arrest warrant details that Morgan was working as an ICE officer when he pointed a gun at the occupants of a vehicle while driving on a highway, leading to serious charges."
"Morgan reportedly drew his firearm and yelled 'Police. Stop.' at the victims, who were unable to hear him due to their closed windows, raising questions about the appropriateness of his actions."
Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., an ICE officer, faces two counts of second-degree aggravated assault for pointing his gun at vehicle occupants on February 5. The incident occurred on Minnesota state highway 62 when Morgan, driving a rented SUV, confronted a car that had moved onto the shoulder. Morgan identified himself as police but the victims could not hear him. This case marks a significant legal action against a federal immigration officer during the Trump administration's immigration enforcement efforts.
