Story summary

On October 30, 2026, Mario Alberto Morales, a 33-year-old ICE officer based in Houston, Texas, was indicted by a grand jury on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The incident occurred earlier this month when Morales allegedly intentionally rammed his unmarked black vehicle into Miguel Parra Hernandez, a Mexican national who was fleeing from ICE agents on foot. This act left the victim hospitalized for weeks and sparked criticism over ICE's hiring practices under the Trump administration, as Morales had been employed by ICE for only about one year. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office accused ICE of obstructing investigations and destroying evidence related to the case, while ICE maintains that its officers are held accountable and trained thoroughly to uphold the law.
