Three people now charged with impeding or assaulting immigration agents in Charlotte

Three people in Charlotte now face federal charges for allegedly assaulting or impeding federal immigration agents.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office says two men — 24-year-olds Cristobal Maltos and Miguel Angel Garcia Martinez — were charged in separate vehicle-related incidents. Maltos was released on bond; Martinez remains in custody.

A newly unsealed complaint also charges 44-year-old Heather Morrow with attacking a federal officer outside an ICE facility on Sunday. Prosecutors say she grabbed the officer from behind as he attempted to arrest another man.
