First-of-its-kind case targets ICE agent who allegedly pointed a gun ‘at the heads of community members’ during Operation Metro Surge
Prosecutors in Minnesota have criminally charged a federal immigration officer with assault in what appears to be a first-of-its-kind case following surges of agents into cities under Donald Trump’s administration.
Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr. faces two counts of second-degree assault for allegedly threatening victims with his firearm, according to a criminal complaint announced by Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty on Thursday.
Morgan is accused of speeding up alongside a victim’s car, pulling out a gun and repeatedly pointing it at people inside during a February incident.
Local law enforcement has issued a warrant for Morgan’s arrest. If convicted, he could face up to 36 months in prison.
36 months isn’t enough.
Ice man in prison? He won’t last a month before someone shivs him

This is always the top comment on these stories. Nothing good can ever happen.
Something is better than nothing, and this guy is definitely going to get killed in prison, so that’s something too
Well if he was a black kid with a candy bar it would be 36yrs or a street execution.
It’s a start. Now go after the murderers in ICE.

This is why I don’t believe anyone that says any kind of government agents are trained to de-escalate.
Great, now how about action against the murderers caught on film.
A warrant is a start. Now let’s see some more warrants and some arrests and convictions.
Fuck him up
So man kills a woman in cold blood all good, but pointing a gun gets you charges? Fucking bullshit. And not the fact that they are being charged. Its the face Renee Good killer is still walking free. Also the other thug who killed that journalist.
Google “low-hanging fruit”
They’re turning up the boiling pot just a little. This will be handled in escalating increments, if we let them. And if the justice system can pull its head out of its collective, they’ll get their just desserts.
If - and I admit it’s a big one - the country’s on the ball, the dude will be hard-pressed to continue this crime-fighter cosplay with a weapon charge on his record.
We’re at the “jury box” phase, I hope.
In the article:
Moriarty’s office is investigating several other violent incidents involving federal officers, though she has accused the administration of “obstructing” efforts to collect evidence.
In this case, her office was able to collect evidence from state and local law enforcement, including Minnesota State Patrol, Minneapolis Police and the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office.
…
A lawsuit filed by Minnesota officials last month calls on a federal judge to force the Trump administration to share evidence it collected after the shootings, alleging that Homeland Security and federal law enforcement agencies have stonewalled attempts for information about incidents that triggered national demonstrations against the president’s mass deportation efforts.
They had clear evidence of this crime, whereas the feds are obstructing them over the murders. This makes it clear they will prosecute those men as well.
