Federal immigration enforcement tactics come under scrutiny as an ICE agent faces charges for allegedly pointing his gun at civilians during a crackdown operation.Temple Hills TodayA nationwide arrest warrant has been issued for an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent named Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr. who is accused of pulling a gun on two motorists during a federal immigration surge in Minnesota earlier this year. Prosecutors say the 35-year-old agent from Temple Hills, Maryland, drove illegally on the shoulder and pointed his weapon at the terrified civilians, contradicting his claim that he believed they were 'agitators' trying to impede his SUV.
Why it matters
This case highlights concerns over the conduct and use of force by federal immigration agents during heightened enforcement operations, with the charges against Morgan potentially being the first of their kind nationally related to on-duty behavior by ICE officers as part of the broader crackdown.
The details
Morgan has been charged with two felony counts of second-degree assault in Hennepin County District Court for the February incident. Prosecutors say he pulled alongside the two motorists and pointed his gun at them, which they consider a use of force under department policy. 'You can't just point your gun,' said Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty.
