ICE agent charged with assault by Minnesota prosecutors, arrest warrant issued

The ICE agent, Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., is accused of pointing his gun at the heads of two people in another car on Feb. 5 as he tried to pass them while illegally driving in his unmarked SUV on the shoulder of a highway in Minneapolis, prosecutors said Thursday at a press conference.

The incident came on the heels of the killings in January of two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, by federal agents in Minneapolis, amid the Trump administration’s controversial surge of immigration enforcement actions in the Twin Cities.

Those killings remain under investigation by local prosecutors.

“There is now a warrant for his arrest,” Moriarty said. “That warrant is nationwide.”

“ICE should make arrangements for him to turn himself in,” she said.

“That warrant will remain out there until we get him in custody,” Moriarity said.

CNBC has requested comment from ICE about the case.
