You knew it was going to happen. Democrats in positions of authority have been threatening to charge federal immigration agents with anything they could come up with for months for the ‘high crime’ of doing their jobs, and now it’s happened:
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty announced Thursday that she was filing felony charges against a U.S. Immigration and Customs (ICE) agent in connection with an altercation involving leftist agitators attempting to block his vehicle.
The incident occurred on February 5, 2026, amid weeks of sustained anti-ICE unrest and violence in Minneapolis. Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., who was identified as the agent by Moriarty’s office, was involved in an encounter on eastbound Minnesota State Highway 62 near the Portland Avenue exit in the Minneapolis area.
According to the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, Morgan was driving an unmarked black rental SUV on the shoulder of the highway. Moriarty claimed the agent was simply trying to bypass traffic, though the vehicle was being tailed by a local “ICE watch” group, which consist of agitators who follow federal vehicles and impede operations.
As the agent was driving, a second vehicle pulled into the shoulder in an attempt to block him. Once that vehicle returned to the travel lane, Morgan pulled alongside it, matched its speed, lowered his window, and pointed his duty weapon directly at the two occupants while continuing to drive on the shoulder, Moriarty said.
The anti-ICE agitators reported the incident to 911, prompting an investigation by the Minnesota State Patrol. Troopers later interviewed Morgan and his partner at the Whipple Federal Building, while Moriarty described the action as brandishing and pointing the weapon at the individuals.
The incident occurred during “Operation Metro Surge,” which increased immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis and other deep blue sanctuary cities. The operation resulted in the deaths of two city residents who agitated against federal officers – one who tried to run an ICE agent (who had been dragged 300 feet by an obsconding illegal alien just six months previous) and another who was shot trying to reach for a handgun he was carrying.
Morgan said he told investigators many times he repeatedly identified himself as police and ordered the driver to pull over. No matter; Moriarty said during a presser this afternoon an arrest warrant has been issued for Morgan.

We’ll see how that plays out. Obviously, Moriarty either has never heard of the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause or she is arrogant enough (probably the latter) to think it doesn’t apply to her because she is ‘doing the right thing.’
Whatever the case, the Justice Department should put her on trial for wrongful prosecution once they get the agent’s case thrown out as a lesson the the other left-wing loons posing as prosecutors who are planning similar cases against federal immigration officers.
