Texas indicts ICE agent for using SUV as weapon against immigrant

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A grand jury in Texas has indicted an ICE agent, Mario Alberto Morales, on charges of second-degree aggravated assault for allegedly driving his SUV into a fleeing immigrant. This case is notable as it may be the first instance of an ICE agent facing state charges in Texas. Prosecutors stated that Morales struck the individual, Miguel Parra Hernandez, while searching for a different person, though ICE has disputed the intentionality of the act and called the indictment a political stunt.
