This Could Get Interesting Real Fast: Hennepin County DA Issues Arrest Warrant for ICE Agent

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty identifies as queer and is the first openly LGBTQ+ person to hold that position. She came out publicly during her 2022 campaign, stating it was important to share her authentic self. 

• Background: Moriarty, elected in 2022, has referred to herself as queer, noting that she came out publicly during the campaign to support others struggling with their identity.
• Significance: She is recognized as the first openly gay woman to serve as the Hennepin County Attorney.
• Public Life: In 2024, she addressed that she is a "queer woman" in response to public criticism of her office's actions. 

Boy, it’s going to be fascinating to see how this one plays out. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08), California Gov. Newsom, and their ilk have been demonizing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for months on end, calling them the Gestapo and other incendiary names. 

On Tuesday, meanwhile, we brought you the outlandish story of California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer’s 

 

calling for open warfare on the federal law enforcement agency. The man has seemingly lost his marbles.

But Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty just upped the stakes on Thursday by charging an ICE agent — 35-year-old Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr. — with two felony counts of second-degree assault for actions he committed… while on duty.

Moriarty, the first LGBTQ person to fill the role, a fact that the media constantly reminds us of as if that makes any difference to her law enforcement abilities, delivered a stern press conference where she said, “There is now a warrant for Mr. Morgan's arrest, which allows law enforcement to arrest him anywhere in the country.”

Watch as she literally snarls when she spits out the word "ICE." (Note, the tweet says it was two agents charged, but it’s now been confirmed that it’s only one):

 

Minnesota really wants to go to war with the federal government under President Trump. Bring it.

The proper federal response needs to happen right NOW. The DOJ under @AGTtactical must immediately move to quash these unconstitutional warrants, open an investigation into Moriarity for obstruction of federal law enforcement, and make it crystal clear that no state or local prosecutor gets to order the arrest of federal agents doing their job. Complete insanity.

Here’s the extremely short version of what went down: two agents were driving on the shoulder of a Minneapolis highway in an unmarked SUV at high speed in February. A driver apparently didn’t like what they were doing, so he swerved to partially cut them off. 

The angered agents then pulled up alongside the other vehicle, where Morgan allegedly pointed his gun at the occupants (there was a woman in the passenger seat). The agents said later that they had rolled down their window and yelled, "Police!"

The pair in the car, in turn, took a picture of his license plate, called 911, and local authorities later found and questioned the agents in a parking lot. They said they assumed they were being harassed because they were ICE, and that had been a daily occurrence for them.

Interestingly, DA Moriarity thought it was funny that the people cut off the agents. “Like some Minnesotans, he’s ticked off about this,” she said about the driver. “It’s one lane, right? So he moves over a little bit to impede. Classic Minnesotan.”

Funny ha ha, almost causing a major accident. Now that’s comedy, folks.

Remember, this is the same woman who hasn’t found time to file charges against the man who assaulted journalist/TPUSA contributor Savannah Hernandez while she was covering an anti-ICE protest in Minneapolis on Sunday. It’s on tape, Mary:

The legal issues here are complicated (supremacy clause, anyone?), but I’ll leave that to our lawyers to dissect. If Morgan is arrested, however, tensions are going to ratchet up even further. 

Minneapolis just keeps the crazy coming.
