ICE agent charged with assault

Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr. faces two counts of second-degree assault following an incident during Operation Metro Surge in February.

Prosecutors allege that Morgan brandished his firearm at civilians while driving, an act described as a gross violation of law.

A nationwide warrant has been issued for his arrest as state officials push for greater accountability of federal officers.

The charges come amid a broader investigation into the conduct of agents during the surge, which has been linked to multiple deaths in custody.
