With a Nationwide Warrant for His Arrest, This ICE Agent Is Now a Fugitive from the Law

It feels like an oddly underreported story that, following the state of Minnesota marking a significant milestone last week by being the first to charge a federal agent of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with multiple felonies, nobody has been able to locate the man in question. It seems as if the expectation would likely have been that the defendant, ICE agent Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., would be informed of the charges, contact local police in Minnesota’s Hennepin County where he was charged, and make arrangements to turn himself in for arrest. And suffice to say, that is not what has happened: This is the sixth day since the charges were filed, and Morgan by all indications remains at large. Which is to say, in other words: A federal agent of ICE is now a fugitive from justice, and a nationwide manhunt is apparently needed in order to enforce the law and demonstrate that federal immigration agents are still subject to it. And if the federal government isn’t participating in turning this man over to Minnesota authorities, then they are claiming that federal agents can break any law they see fit, at any time, for any reason. Seems bad.

And trust me, it’s not as if Gregory Donnell Morgan has some kind of alibi or reasonable excuse for the crimes with which he was charged; anything that would allow the federal government to claim that he should be protected under the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution because he was in the course of doing his duties. We’re talking, of all things, about the outcome here of what appears to be a simple road rage incident, in which a federal agent drew his weapon and threatened to shoot several American citizens not in the course of performing his job, but because he was angry about momentarily having to slow down the vehicle he was in the process of illegally driving.

Let’s circle back to the context of these criminal charges. The incident in question happened on Feb. 5, 2026, on a busy stretch of Minneapolis highway, roughly two weeks after the Border Patrol shooting death of Alex Pretti. In an area of congestion, which frequently resulted in traffic jams and slow travel, two occupants of a car noticed a (completely unmarked) SUV was illegally driving on the shoulder to circumvent the traffic. Presumably annoyed at someone flouting the law and the rules of the road, the two people in the car told police they partially pulled over to “cut him off a little bit” and stop the SUV from advancing–if we’re being honest, road rage seems like a probable motivator here as well. What they presumably weren’t expecting, however, was for the SUV’s driver to massively escalate matters by pulling farther onto the shoulder, rolling down his window, and aiming a gun at the pair in the car while yelling something unintelligible. That’s what the victims in the case alleged Morgan did, and it’s the root of the two counts of second degree assault with a deadly weapon that he’s now facing, each of which are technically punishable by sentences of up to 7 years in prison by Minnesota law. The two in the car, now faced with an angry gunman and no idea of who he was, cowered and called 911.

And crucially, this is not a “he said, she said” scenario. Both the victims and the two ICE agents in the car were quickly interviewed by state investigators. At that time, Morgan confirmed to those investigators that he had drawn his gun and yelled at the people in the car, as did his partner who was in the back seat of the SUV. Likewise, the presence of all the vehicles involved in the incident were confirmed by a combination of traffic cameras and footage shot by the victims. There is no wiggle room, whatsoever, for Morgan to pretend that the incident never occurred–which, by the way, neither Morgan nor his partner reported at the time, according to ICE’s own supervisor. Morgan even shot a massive hole in what would have been his biggest defense by admitting that he wasn’t engaged in any kind of law enforcement work at the time of the incident. As the report puts it: “Defendant made no claim he was conducting any law-enforcement operation or activity, or responding to any emergency situation during the incident.” The same document made it clear his whereabouts are unknown: “A warrant is necessary because there is a substantial likelihood that defendant will fail to respond to a summons and because his present location is not reasonably discoverable.”

Perhaps this is why Hennepin County prosecutor Mary Moriarty effectively described the assault case as an open-and-shut one, saying that it had “virtually none” of the obstacles that make other prosecutions against federal agents difficult because it clearly wasn’t connected to any claims of impediment of the ICE agent’s duties. All the evidence is right there, out of Morgan’s own mouth for the most part, with corroborating testimony from his partner. As the victims told Moriarty, they had no idea that the unmarked SUV was somehow being driven by an unidentified federal agent, and instead made the natural assumption that this was “a crazy person driving down the road aiming guns at people.” Can you possibly blame them?

And that, clearly, is a deeply dangerous and incredibly irresponsible thing for a federal immigration agent to be doing. As Moriarty told reporters at the press conference where she announced the charges: “Driving while pointing a weapon out of your moving vehicle at the victims who are in another moving vehicle could have led to yet another disastrous incident in a community that has already suffered too many.”

Which brings us to the very obvious question: Where is Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr.? The nationwide warrant for his arrest gives police everywhere legal authority to put Morgan under arrest and ultimately to transport him back to Minnesota to face these charges. Does the federal government know the whereabouts of Morgan? Are they shielding him from capture, because this case would make Immigration and Customs Enforcement look back? Will ICE aid local law enforcement in the apprehension of one of its own agents, when that agent is now charged with multiple felonies? It’s been six days since the charges were announced and as far as I can tell neither ICE nor the Department of Homeland Security has even made any kind of official statement about Morgan whatsoever. In fact, one day after the charges were announced, Acting ICE director Todd Lyons instead announced he was stepping down from his post, after recent reporting that he was overwhelmed by “stress” and psychotic demands for more blood from Stephen Miller. No replacement ICE director has been announced. The rats are trying to get off this sinking ship.

Good morning Bsky!

The fugitive Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr remains at large.

And rest assured, this is just the start of the legal reckoning that states like Minnesota are building against Immigration and Customs Enforcement following each of ICE’s most brutal terror campaigns. In Hennepin County alone, prosecutor Mary Moriarty said 18 separate incidents were under investigation for potential criminal charges, including the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, in which the county is suing the federal government for access to crime scene data. Neighboring counties also have investigations of their own underway into a wide variety of incidents, including the time a senior citizen in his underwear was marched out into sub-freezing weather. The wheels of justice appear to be turning, albeit slowly.

But what we should all now be asking is: Where the fuck is Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., and for how long will the federal government tolerate one of its agents being a fugitive from justice? It’s time for at least one ICE stooge to pay the piper.
