ICE agent charged with assault

ICE agent charged with assault

The charges against the Maryland-based agent follow a disturbing incident where a driver reported fearing for their life after a 'crazy person' aimed weapons at them from a moving vehicle.

The Hennepin County Attorney's Office issued a warrant for Morgan's arrest, marking a potential turning point in the accountability of federal agents involved in the mass deportation campaign.

The incident occurred during a high-profile immigration crackdown in Minnesota that has already faced backlash over the deaths of protesters.

While the Department of Homeland Security has not yet commented on the specific case, the charges come as the administration attempts to distance itself from its more aggressive publicity tactics on immigration.
