The ICE officer who faces charges for road raging in Minneapolis (pulling a gun on a random motorist who blocked him from driving his unmarked SUV on the shoulder) broke into tears on the stand and said he was under a lot of stress, ok?
Morgan, who was abruptly called up to the Twin Cities from Washington, D.C., said he did not want to join the surge because he was unfamiliar with the area and had heard reports of animosity toward immigration officers.

“I’m not used to that, I’ve never seen something like that in policing,” he said.

The agent broke down in tears while testifying about feeling unsafe and overwhelmed during Operation Metro Surge, describing the atmosphere as a “riot” where he faced relentless harassment, racial slurs and threats of death.

Through a shaky voice, Morgan described the toll his brief deployment took on him and his family.

“I’ve never experienced something like this before,” he said. “I had to take my daughter out of school… because I did the job I’m supposed to do.”

Morgan’s second-degree assault charges stem from a Feb. 5 incident during the surge, when state prosecutors say he illegally drove an unmarked SUV on a Minneapolis freeway shoulder before pointing a firearm at the occupants of a white Cadillac that repeatedly swerved to block him.

Karl Marx Was Right: A Reading List
Karl Marx was right about the cruelty and irrationality of the capitalist system, and the economic and political crises inherent to its profit-above-all model. Marx's writing has helped inspire revolutions, rebellions, and struggle all over the world; we could use a little bit of that inspiration now. We’ve put together this Marx and Marxism reading list to help that effort. Each book comes with a free ebook (where available), and we offer free shipping inside the US on orders over $35 and inside the UK on orders over £25.

Radical library activism means fighting for the kinds of libraries we want, as well as fighting for adequate funding. It means working on every level for a future in which we work collectively to educate and empower each other, rather than to police, incarcerate, and dehumanize each other.
