For the first time, a federal immigration agent is facing charges related to alleged conduct that happened during the Trump administration's so-called Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota that sparks so much controversy.
>> This morning, ICE agent Gregory Morgan Jr. now charged with two counts of seconddegree assault with a dangerous weapon.
Pointing a gun at the heads of two community members who are not doing anything at the time is well beyond the scope of their authority as federal agents.
>> Prosecutors say on February 5th, Morgan pointed his firearm at two civilians while driving on the highway during an apparent road rage incident.
Court documents say the agent was driving illegally on the shoulder of the highway trying to bypass traffic.
According to prosecutors, a vehicle cut him off and he allegedly pulled up alongside two people in that vehicle and pointed his service weapon at their heads.
The agent claims the car swerved to cut him off.
He says he then pulled up alongside them on the shoulder and admitted to drawing his weapon out of fear for his own safety and the safety of others.
Prosecutors aren't convinced.
>> When the vehicle of Mr. Morgan pulled up next to him and drew a gun and pointed it at their heads.
>> Court records say there were no markings on the defendant's vehicle that would identify it as law enforcement.
And the vehicle was not displaying or using lights or sirens.
We have yet to get a response from ICE or Homeland Security officials to the new charges.
And overnight, we're learning that Todd Lions, the acting ICE director, is leaving the agency.
Rebecca. All right, Pier.
