Minnesota charges first ICE agent for surge-related conduct
Minnesota charges ICE agent Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr. with two felony counts of second-degree assault for pointing a gun at civilians in an unmarked vehicle in February. The charges are the first against any federal immigration officer for conduct during the Minneapolis enforcement surge — a precedent that may open the path to eventual charges against the agents who killed Pretti and Good.

Minnesota charges ICE agent with assault — first federal officer charged during enforcement surge
Minnesota prosecutors charge ICE agent Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr. with two counts of felony second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon for pointing a gun at civilians in an unmarked SUV in February 2026. The charges are the first against any federal immigration officer for actions taken during the Minneapolis surge. The charges against Morgan — unrelated to the Good or Pretti killings — signal state prosecutors' determination to hold federal agents accountable even as federal agencies refuse to cooperate.
