An ICE agent working in Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge will be charged with allegedly pointing his gun at two motorists while he was driving to the Whipple Building at the end of his shift in February.

Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., 35, of Temple Hills, Md., was charged with two felony counts of second-degree assault in Hennepin County District Court on Thursday. A nationwide warrant has been issued for his arrest.

This is the first criminal charge to be levied against an ICE agent for their actions during Operation Metro Surge. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said in an interview with the Minnesota Star Tribune this week that while she can’t be certain, it might be the first charge of its kind nationwide.

Messages were left with the White House and Department of Homeland Security seeking comment on the charges.
