Story summary

A Texas grand jury indicted ICE agent Mario Alberto Morales on October 30, charging him with second-degree aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for intentionally running over Miguel Parra Hernandez, who was on foot, in Houston on October 10. The indictment came after Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare reviewed video evidence that contradicted ICE's initial statement that Parra ran in front of the vehicle. Parra suffered multiple fractures to his right leg and other injuries from the incident. DHS placed Morales on administrative leave following the collision, but has since called the indictment a "political stunt."

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
