Woman convicted of assaulting ICE officer to be sentenced Friday

Woman convicted of assaulting ICE officer to be sentenced Friday

CHARLOTTE — A federal judge is expected to hand down a sentence Friday for the woman convicted of assaulting an ICE officer last fall.

In September, a jury found Heather Morrow guilty of “obstructing the entrance of federal property” and assaulting, resisting, and intimidating law enforcement.

Video shows Morrow and other protesters blocking the entrance of the ICE office in southwest Charlotte.

Prosecutors are asking the judge to sentence her to eight months in prison.

Last month, a federal judge sentenced William Stanley to one year of probation for his role in the protest. He also has to complete 50 hours of community service and pay a fine.
