(The Center Square) – A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer indicted in Harris County and accused of hitting a Mexican national with a vehicle appeared before a judge in Houston on Monday.
Mario Alberto Morales surrendered himself on Monday, appearing before Judge Matthew Peneguy, presiding over the Harris County 488th District Court. Joining his defense team was former Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg, a Democrat who lost her primary race in the last election to current Harris County DA Sean Teare.
