A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer has been indicted on a felony in Texas for allegedly hitting a man with a vehicle, according to a CBS News report. The summary of that report places the alleged incident earlier this month, and it does not name the officer.
ABC News reported that the officer, Mario Alberto Morales, was charged with second-degree aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to the Harris County District Attorney's Office. The ABC News report carries a headline that describes the officer as indicted by the district attorney, while its summary uses the word charged.
The two reports differ on the circumstances. The ABC News headline says the man was struck during a pursuit. The CBS News summary does not mention a pursuit, and it describes the charge as a felony, a term the ABC News summary does not use. Both reports describe the alleged conduct as a vehicle striking a man.
Neither the summaries nor the headlines state where the incident took place, identify the man who was struck, or describe his condition. The summaries also do not say whether Morales has entered a plea, whether he has an attorney, or whether Immigration and Customs Enforcement has made a statement about the case.
Both reports were published on October 30, 2026, according to their listed publication times. This account is limited to the information in those two titles and summaries, and the charges are described as the reports attribute them. Further details of the case were not available in the summaries reviewed for this story.
