美国国土安全部指责明尼苏达州官员策划“政治作秀”，目前联邦与州当局就一名被指控向驾车者举枪的ICE特工应在州法院还是联邦法院受审产生分歧。
这场纠纷的核心人物是小格雷戈里·摩根，一名移民海关执法局特工。检察官称，他在双城执行完联邦移民执法任务返程途中，在一场交通对峙中用手枪指向驾车者，因此被控两项二级攻击罪。
摩根的律师团队得到联邦官员的支持，他们辩称，摩根受到美国宪法至上条款所衍生的法律原则保护，该条款规定联邦法律优先于冲突的州法律。法院已确认，在某些情况下，联邦官员因履行公务而采取的行动可免受州起诉。但明尼苏达州检察官表示，这些保护措施在此案中不适用，他们认为摩根所谓的行为并非出于任何合法的联邦执法职责。
这起案件已演变为一场关于联邦官员法律保护范围的更广泛争议。亨内平县检察官希望将案件留在州法院审理，而联邦政府则加入摩根的阵营，要求将案件移交联邦法院。本周早些时候，美国司法部提交通知，申请由高级审判律师保罗·夸斯特代表美国政府出庭处理此案。
“明尼苏达州‘庇护城市’政客的这些行为不过是政治作秀，”国土安全部发言人在一份声明中表示。“各州无权起诉正在履行公务的联邦执法官员。”

这份声明发布之际，亨内平县检察官玛丽·莫里亚蒂的办公室敦促一名联邦法官驳回摩根将案件移出明尼苏达州法院的请求。
在本周提交的文件中，检察官辩称，摩根试图将他“在州高速公路上对明尼苏达州受害者实施的路怒行为”伪装成一场联邦执法行动。
这份由亨内平县检察官办公室与宪法倡导协会及华盛顿诉讼小组共同提交的文件称，所谓的攻击行为与摩根作为ICE特工的职责之间没有任何有意义的关联。
根据检察官的说法，摩根逮捕和拘留涉嫌违反移民法人员的权限，并不包括在明尼苏达州高速公路上与驾车者对峙的行为。

“没有证据表明存在任何与工作相关的情况，要求被告赶去目的地或在高速公路路肩上行驶，”文件中写道。“是被告自己决定非法在路肩上行驶，以避开通勤高峰时段的拥堵，并对挡道的驾车者拔枪指向他们。”
摩根的律师瑞安·帕西加上周提交了移案申请，辩称所谓的行为发生在摩根履行联邦执法职责期间，他和搭档都担心对峙中会“ imminent bodily harm（迫在眉睫的身体伤害）”。
根据法庭记录，事件发生于2月5日，当时摩根正在参与“地铁突袭行动”后返回斯内灵堡的惠普尔联邦大楼，地点在35W州际公路交汇处附近的62号高速公路上。
检察官称，摩根和另一名ICE特工在高峰时段行驶在高速公路路肩上时，一辆凯迪拉克变道挡住了他们的去路。当局指控摩根随后将车停在该车辆旁，拔出手枪指向车内人员。

其中一名驾车者拨打了911，称一名男子用格洛克手枪对准他的脸部，两人事后都告诉调查人员他们当时担心自身安全。摩根被控两项二级攻击罪，并在缴纳10万美元保释金后获释。
摩根的案件并非“地铁突袭行动”引发的唯一一起起诉。

‘Political stunt’ prosecution of ICE agent for ‘road rage’ provokes heated DHS response

The Department of Homeland Security is accusing Minnesota officials of staging a “political stunt” as federal and state authorities square off over whether an ICE agent accused of pointing a gun at motorists should be prosecuted in state or federal court.
The dispute centers on Gregory Morgan Jr., an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent charged with two counts of second-degree assault after prosecutors said he pointed a handgun at motorists during a traffic confrontation while returning from a federal immigration enforcement operation in the Twin Cities.
Morgan’s attorneys, backed by federal officials, argue he is protected under legal doctrines stemming from the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which establishes that federal law supersedes conflicting state laws. Courts have recognized that federal officers may, in certain circumstances, be shielded from state prosecution for actions taken in the course of their official duties. But Minnesota prosecutors say those protections do not apply here, arguing Morgan’s alleged conduct fell outside any legitimate federal law-enforcement function.
The case has grown into a broader fight over the legal protections afforded to federal officers. Hennepin County prosecutors are seeking to keep the matter in state court, while the federal government has joined Morgan’s effort to move it to federal court. Earlier this week, the Department of Justice filed a notice seeking to have Senior Trial Attorney Paul Quast appear on behalf of the United States in the case.
“These actions by Minnesota sanctuary politicians are nothing more than a political stunt,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement. “States do not have the authority to charge a federal law enforcement officer while performing his official duties.”

The statement came as Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty’s office urged a federal judge to reject Morgan’s request to transfer the case out of Minnesota state court.
In filings submitted this week, prosecutors argued Morgan is attempting to “transform his moment of road rage — committed on a state highway against Minnesota victims — into a federal enforcement action.”
The filing, submitted by the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office along with the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and the Washington Litigation Group, contends there is no meaningful connection between the alleged assault and Morgan’s responsibilities as an ICE agent.
According to prosecutors, Morgan’s authority to arrest and detain individuals suspected of violating immigration laws did not extend to confronting motorists on a Minnesota highway.

“There is no evidence of any job-related circumstance requiring the defendant to rush to his destination or to drive on the highway shoulder to get there,” the filing states. “It was the defendant’s decision to drive illegally on the shoulder to avoid the inconvenience of rush-hour traffic, and to draw and point his firearm at motorists who got in his way.”
Morgan’s attorney, Ryan Pacyga, filed the removal petition last week, arguing the alleged conduct occurred while Morgan was performing federal law enforcement duties and that both he and his partner feared “imminent bodily harm” during the encounter.
According to court records, Morgan was returning to the Whipple Federal Building at Fort Snelling on Feb. 5 after participating in Operation Metro Surge when the incident occurred on Highway 62 near the Interstate 35W interchange.
Prosecutors say Morgan and another ICE agent were driving on the highway shoulder during rush hour when a Cadillac moved over and blocked their path. Authorities allege Morgan then pulled alongside the vehicle, drew a handgun and pointed it at the occupants.

One of the motorists called 911 and reported that a man had aimed a Glock at his face, while both occupants later told investigators they feared for their safety. Morgan was charged with two counts of second-degree assault and was released after posting $100,000 bail.
Morgan’s case is not the only prosecution stemming from Operation Metro Surge.

Moriarty’s office later charged another ICE agent, Christian Castro, with multiple assault counts in connection with the alleged shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis, an incident that sparked protests in north Minneapolis.
