ICE agent charged with assault

Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr. is accused of brandishing his service weapon at the heads of two people in another vehicle along a congested highway in February.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty stated that federal agents do not have absolute immunity when they violate state law.

The incident occurred during Operation Metro Surge, a widespread federal crackdown that has faced intense criticism following the deaths of two U.S. citizens.

An arrest warrant has been issued for Morgan as state officials seek to hold federal authorities accountable for their actions.
