A police report, which The Informer received soon after the release of MPD’s statement, said at least a dozen officers arrived at the scene and recovered a white Ford E-150. Some of those officers, Williams said, went to great lengths to stop him from recording, even threatening to arrest him. 

“For them just to have a body hanging and not say s— to the community about it was crazy,” Williams told The Informer. “There were many, many people out there. Parents, grandparents, and children, and they couldn’t understand what was going on.” 

Days after his footage attracted nearly 9,000 views on YouTube, Williams continues to question why MPD didn’t immediately publicize the gruesome discovery.   

“The only thing I did see was some little flash reports…that just said police [were] over the scene,” Williams said. “They just made no issue that there was a body hanging in broad daylight at 1:30 p.m. They tried to cover it up… and then nothing came out after that.”

Minneapolis, Minnesota - The Hennepin County criminal complaint in Minnesota was filed on April 16, 2026 against USICE agent Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., 35, who has been criminally charged with two state felony counts for 2nd-degree assault with a dangerous weapon. USICE agent Morgan is facing up to 7 years in prison and $4,000 to $14,000 in fines for each count, or both, if convicted on all counts.

According to the criminal complaint, several victims stated that on February 5, 2026, Morgan Jr. had pursued them on Minnesota State Highway 62 and I-35W and pointed a firearmed at two victims while he was recklessly driving illegally in the right shoulder.

At the time of the incident, Victim 1 was driving east on Hwy 62 through the above-described 1-35W interchange. Victim 2 was in the front-passenger seat. Victim 1 stated that they were queued with other vehicles in the single lane of traffic when they saw a black Ford Expedition approaching from behind, driving illegally on the right shoulder. Victim 1 moved their car partially onto the shoulder in front of the Expedition, attempting to "cut him off a little bit and block the Expedition driver's effort to bypass traffic unlawfully. Victim 1 was unaware that the driver, later identified as Morgan, the Defendant, was associated with a law- enforcement agency. There were no markings on Morgan's vehicle that would identify it as law enforcement and the vehicle was not displaying or using lights or sirens.

After briefly using the vehicle to attempt to block Morgan from using the shoulder, Victim 1 returned the vehicle to the legal traffic lane. Morgan continued to travel on the shoulder but rather than continue to drive past the victims, he pulled alongside their vehicle, rolled down his window, and pointed a black handgun directly at Victim 1 and Victim 2. Victim 1 had a clear view of Morgan's appearance, saw that he was wearing a black t-shirt, saw that the gun was pointed directly at their heads, saw that the gun was a Glock or Sig Sauer handgun with what appeared to be a red-dot sight, and noted that Morgan yelled something indiscernible. The windows on Victim 1's car were closed, and the victims weren't able to hear what Morgan was velling. Victim 1 felt threatened for their safety and immediately called 911.

Victim 2 corroborated Victim 1's report. Victim 2 was in the front-passenger seat and saw the Expeditior driving on the right shoulder of Hwy 62 "really, really fast." Victim 2 said that Victim 1 moved the car into the shoulder to "slow him down." Victim 2 explained that in response Morgan pulled alongside them, rolled down his window, and pointed his gun straight at Victim 2 and Victim 1. This caused Victim 2 to feel threatened and scared for their safety. As with Victim 1, Victim 2 was unaware that Morgan was a federal agent, noting that the Expedition had no markings to indicate it was being used by law enforcement.

Victim 2 shared with troopers two videos recorded with a cell phone after Morgan pointed his firearm at them. On the videos, Victim 1 and Victim 2 are driving behind Morgan and recording the back of the Expedition, which had an identifiable Utah license plate.

A police official in Arizona has been placed on administrative leave after showing up armed to a student-led protest and provoking an altercation that led to the arrest of a teenage girl. The officer told fellow police who arrived on the scene that he attended the students’ immigration rights protest with the intent of acting as an agent provocateur, according to a news report.

Dusten Mullen, a sergeant with the Phoenix Police Department, has been suspended with pay pending an internal review of his conduct at a protest at Hamilton High School in Chandler, Arizona, on January 30, according to Phoenix Police Chief Matthew Giordano.

“As law enforcement professionals, we are held to higher standards of conduct — both in and out of uniform,” Giordano said. “When we fall short, we must be accountable, and we will not tolerate actions which undermine the trust the community has placed in the Department.”

Fox 10 Phoenix, the outlet to first identify Mullen, reported that Mullen told Chandler Police Department officers on the scene that he was there in the hopes of getting a rise out of the kids that would then allow the local cops to cuff them.

Documenting the public activity of ICE agents and other federal officers is a constitutional right, and a key tool in protecting our civil liberties. ACLU legal expert Byul Yoon is no stranger to defending activists whose rights have been violated by ICE, and she joins us on this episode of Making Sense to answer your questions about documenting law enforcement.

Kolasinski, however, said, “It’s not that his movement of the vehicle triggered the shooting but quite the other way around,” adding that Hernández “fled in a panic because he was fired on.”

...

After the shooting, federal immigration agents cut all of Hernández’s clothes off, took pictures of him, then left him handcuffed sitting naked on the side of the road without providing medical care, according to Kolasinski.

At least one eyewitness has come forward to support Hernández’s claim about how the incident first unfolded.

All of this is taking place under an ICE program called 287(g), part of a 1996 law that granted the Attorney General (and later the Secretary of Homeland Security) the authority to enter into written agreements with state and local governments on immigration. The first agreement under the law was signed by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement after 9/11; as of last year, the number of agreements has swelled past 1,000.

Today, the program employs a “task force model” under which local police are deputized as ICE agents with the authority to carry out federal immigration law. So despite the broad public backlash against ICE, the agency has a way to carry out its mission without drawing attention to itself.

An internal ICE diagram I obtained shows that local officers only become eligible for stipends and salary reimbursements after making their first arrest. The document labels that first arrest as the moment a participant becomes “OPERATIONAL.”

A Phoenix Police sergeant is under internal investigation for his involvement as an armed and masked counter-protester during a student led anti-ICE protest in Chandler, according to records. 

That man was confirmed to be Phoenix PD Sergeant Dusten Mullen. When an officer approached him, he was arguing with students, telling them to "grow up and act like adults."

FOX 10 Investigator Justin Lum obtained the Chandler Police report detailing how the off-duty officer allegedly wanted students to assault him.

Hi. On today's episode of Some More News, we look at how your local police department gradually became militarized, and how that's bad.

Context from one of the witnesses:

Was leaving SFO around 10:30PM last night 3/22 when I heard yelling and saw a huge crowd of people. There were at least a dozen San Francisco police officers and a ridiculous amount of people gathered in a circle, some recording or talking on the phone. When I got closer, I saw a woman kneeling on the ground next to a couch/bench with a little girl and the police officers were basically surrounding her, facing away so seemingly keeping the crowd away/hiding her from the crowd. I asked a woman what happened, and she said she was there from the very beginning and saw it all. There were apparently two men in black + wearing backpacks who ran up and grabbed her passport, shoved her (?) and were keeping her there. She seemed to not know for sure, but she suspected that they were ICE agents and the police officers were there to protect them. I could see at least one of these men talking with police officers. Just a few minutes later, I heard yelling again and when I looked back, people were running up and filming while police officers were trying to keep them away. I saw the same woman as before now in a wheelchair in a very uncomfortable position (seemingly being shoved into it) and the small girl walking alongside her and crying. The two men in black were pushing the wheelchair/walking with her and there were a small group of officers/airport workers(?) going with her as well. People were yelling that she was being taken from her family, telling her to hug her kid, damning the ICE agents, etc. I wasn't really sure what was happening, so I filmed a video on my phone at a bad angle(I'll try to attach it). Afterwards, I asked a couple people if they knew what happened and they kinda confirmed it was ICE and they took her away for "questioning".
