摘要
两项指控与2月的一起事件相关
移民海关执法局是特朗普移民打击政策的核心
明尼苏达州曾爆发针对移民海关执法局行动的大规模抗议活动
华盛顿4月16日（路透社）——明尼苏达州亨内平县检察官起诉一名美国移民海关执法局特工涉嫌袭击，该特工于2月在明尼阿波利斯的一条高速公路上，被指将枪指向车内的两人。
亨内平县检察官玛丽·莫里亚蒂周四表示，她认为这是首次针对一名ICE官员提起的、与特朗普政府今年早些时候在明尼苏达州的移民打击行动相关的指控。

据检察官透露，这名身份为35岁的格雷戈里·唐纳利·摩根的特工，被指在双子城地区的一条高速公路上，将枪指向另一辆车内的两人。
摩根被控两项二级袭击罪名。亨内平县检察官办公室在一份声明中表示，目前已有针对他的全国性有效逮捕令。
隶属于国土安全部的ICE未回应置评请求。国土安全部同样未回应置评请求。
ICE是唐纳德·特朗普总统移民打击政策的核心机构，该政策在明尼苏达州1月份两名美国公民亚历克斯·普雷蒂和蕾妮·古德遭枪击身亡后，在多个目标城市引发抗议，并蔓延至全美。

亨内平县检察官表示，当受害者车辆“短暂驶入路肩以减速”时，摩根似乎试图超越较慢车流。检察官补充道，摩根加速并将车开到他们车辆旁。
他随后“摇下车窗，将配枪直接对准另一辆车中的两名受害者，同时继续非法在路肩行驶”，检察官称。
根据检察官的起诉书，摩根称他拔枪是因为“担心自己和他人的安全”。
特朗普将ICE的行动描述为遏制非法移民、改善国内安全和打击欺诈的必要举措。
人权倡导者表示，此次移民打击行动侵犯了言论自由和正当程序权利，为少数族裔制造了不安全的环境。
倡导者还表示，特朗普政府利用孤立的欺诈案件集体针对特定社区，并以曾赦免过往曾面临欺诈定罪的人为由，质疑其打击欺诈的能力。

Summary
Two charges are related to an incident in February
ICE is at the heart of Trump’s immigration crackdown
There have been large protests against ICE actions in Minnesota
WASHINGTON, April 16 (Reuters) – Prosecutors in Minnesota’s Hennepin County have charged a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent with assault for allegedly pointing his gun at two people in a car along a highway in Minneapolis in February.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said on Thursday she believed the charges were the first to be brought against an ICE officer over actions related to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota earlier this year.

The officer, identified as 35-year-old Gregory Donnell Morgan, allegedly pointed a gun at two people in another vehicle along a highway in the Twin Cities area, according to prosecutors.
Morgan has been charged with two counts of second-degree assault. There is now an active nationwide warrant for his arrest, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
ICE, part of the Department of Homeland Security, did not respond to a request for comment. DHS also did not respond to a request for comment.
ICE is at the heart of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, triggering protests in targeted cities that expanded nationwide following the fatal shootings in January of two U.S. citizens in Minnesota – Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Hennepin County prosecutors said Morgan appeared to attempt to bypass slower traffic when the alleged victims’ vehicle “briefly moved into the shoulder to slow him down.” Morgan sped up to pull alongside their vehicle, prosecutors added.
He then “opened his (vehicle’s) window, and pointed his duty weapon directly at both victims in the other vehicle while continuing to drive illegally on the shoulder,” prosecutors said.
Morgan said “he feared for his safety and the safety of others,” when he drew his gun, according to the complaint from prosecutors.
Trump has cast ICE’s actions as necessary to curb illegal immigration, improve domestic security and fight fraud.
Rights advocates say the crackdown has violated free speech and due process rights and created an unsafe environment for minorities.
Advocates also say Trump’s administration has used isolated fraud cases to collectively target communities and questioned his ability to tackle fraud, citing pardons given to those who have faced fraud convictions in the past.
