ICE Agent Charged with Assault

ICE Agent Charged with Assault

Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr. faces two counts of second-degree assault after another driver reported that he was aiming a firearm at occupants of a nearby car.

The charges mark the first time a federal agent has been prosecuted for conduct during the recent wave of mass deportation operations.

Prosecutors allege the agent's behavior caused extreme fear and was entirely unprovoked.

The Department of Homeland Security has not yet commented on the agent's employment status following the indictment.
