The agent, Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., is accused of pointing a gun at the heads of two civilians in a vehicle, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said.

This is the first case of an ICE agent facing charges related to the Trump administration’s Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota, which drew national outrage after the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens by federal immigration authorities.

behavior in their states!

It needs to become standard practice any time laws are broken by Trump's paramilitary.

That includes the president himself. His only immunity is at the federal level for certain actions. But not crimes, and certainly not ones that occur within a state.
