This ICE agent is in hot water.
An ICE agent who was deployed in Minnesota during President Trump’s illegal immigration crackdown in Minneapolis and St. Paul is now facing felony charges.
The ICE agent has been charged with felony assault after allegedly pointing his gun at the heads of people driving in a car in Minneapolis.
The Guardian reported the identity of the agent arrested:
An ICE agent has been charged with assault for allegedly pointing his gun at people in a car while driving on a Minneapolis highway, prosecutors in Minnesota said on Thursday.
Hennepin county attorney Mary Moriarty said she believed it was the first criminal case brought against a federal immigration officer involved in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown that surged federal authorities into cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland and New Orleans.
An arrest warrant says Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr was charged with two counts of second-degree aggravated assault. The warrant says Morgan was working as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in the Minneapolis area on 5 February when he pointed a gun at the occupants of a vehicle on Minnesota state highway 62.

NBC News provided the full details of the incident:
On Feb. 5, Morgan was allegedly driving a SUV with no markings when he pulled up next to another vehicle and “pointed his duty weapon directly at both victims while continuing to drive illegally on the shoulder” of a highway, she said. The driver then called 911.
For “a federal agent, our opinion is that illegally driving on a shoulder, pulling up to a car and pointing a gun at the heads of two community members who are not doing anything at the time is well beyond the scope of their authority,” she said.
The prosecutor said it appeared Morgan was attempting to bypass slower traffic when the victim “briefly moved their vehicle into the shoulder to slow him down.”
The agent then allegedly pulled up to the victim’s vehicle before opening his window and pointing his duty weapon at the driver and passenger, she said.
ADVERTISEMENTMinnesota State Patrol investigators interviewed Morgan the following day, she said.
According to Moriarty, Morgan said he and his partner were driving to the Whipple Federal Building after their shift.
“He admitted that he drew his firearm after the victim’s vehicle had already rejoined the normal flow of traffic, corroborating details from interviews with the victim” as well as video of the incident, Moriarty said.
Do you think this agent will receive a pardon?
