Minnesota Charges ICE Officer with Assault During Immigration Enforcement Surge
An ICE officer, Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., has been charged with two counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon in Minnesota. The charges stem from an incident during an immigration enforcement crackdown, where Morgan allegedly pointed a gun at two motorists on a Minneapolis highway. This marks the first criminal charges against a federal immigration officer for actions taken during the Minnesota immigration surge. The incident occurred on February 5, when Morgan, driving an unmarked SUV, allegedly aimed a handgun at two individuals who attempted to block his vehicle from bypassing traffic. The victims reported the incident to the Minnesota State Patrol, leading to Morgan's identification and subsequent charges.
