First ICE officer charged for assault in Minneapolis turns himself in to police

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer will reportedly turn himself in to police on Thursday after being charged last month for an incident that occurred during his deployment to Minnesota as part of the agency’s Operation Midway Blitz.

An attorney for ICE employee Gregory Morgan Jr. said his client will surrender to authorities following the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office’s April announcement that it was charging him with two counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, ABC News reported.

The county attorney’s office stated that Morgan had been in his vehicle driving back to Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis at the end of a shift on Feb. 5 when another driver cut him off on the road while he was attempting to pass.

The complaint states that Morgan drove his unmarked SUV on the shoulder of the highway and pulled his firearm, brandished the gun, and pointed it at motorists in another vehicle, according to the complaint.
