ICE agent charged with assault for allegedly pointing gun at people in car

Minnesota prosecutors say this is first criminal case against a federal agent involved in Trump’s immigration crackdown

An ICE agent has been charged with assault for allegedly pointing his gun at people in car while driving on a Minneapolis highway, prosecutors in Minnesota said on Thursday.

Hennepin county attorney Mary Moriarty said she believed it was the first criminal case brought against a federal immigration officer involved in the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration enforcement that surged federal authorities into cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland and New Orleans.
