A federal immigration enforcement agent stationed in San Antonio has been indicted and faces criminal charges following an incident involving a vehicle ramming.
Mario Alberto Morales, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent based out of San Antonio, is facing a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. According to court records, Morales has entered a plea of not guilty to the charge.
The case stems from an operation where agency officials stated they were actively pursuing an undocumented Mexican man who was facing criminal charges and potential deportation.
In response to the legal proceedings, the agency released an unsigned public statement addressing the accusations against Morales. The ongoing criminal case continues to move through the judicial system as the defendant maintains his not guilty plea.
