Tim Evans | Reuters An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent has been charged with two counts of assault related to a road rage incident by state prosecutors in Minnesota, who have issued a nationwide warrant for his arrest. The ICE agent, Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., is accused of pointing his duty gun at the heads of two people in another car on Feb. 5 as he tried to pass them while illegally driving in his unmarked SUV on the shoulder of a highway in Minneapolis, prosecutors said Thursday at a press conference.

Prosecutors said after the second ruling that they had decided to drop the cases. “We are elated with this development,” said Travis Lock, an attorney for Jaynes. Meany’s lawyer, Michael Denbow, said he is “incredibly grateful for today’s filing.” Meany “is looking forward to putting this matter behind …
