US man charged for framing immigrant in fake plot to kill Trump

Demetric Scott admitted he wrote letters in the name of Ramon Morales-Reyes, who he was charged with assaulting

Prosecutors in Milwaukee have charged a man with four felonies for attempting to frame an undocumented immigrant he is accused of assaulting, by sending forged letters in the immigrant’s name with a threat to kill Donald Trump.

The handwritten, forged letters were mailed to Wisconsin’s attorney general, Milwaukee police and US Immigration & Customs Enforcement (Ice). The story received a flood of media attention and was highlighted by the White House and Trump’s allies, but appears to have been a hoax.

WISN-TV, an ABC affiliate in Milwaukee, reported on Monday that a criminal complaint alleges Demetric Scott admitted to investigators he wrote the letters threatening to kill the president in the name of Ramon Morales-Reyes, whom he was previously charged with assaulting.

Among those who fell for the hoax was Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, who released a statement praising immigration officers for arresting Morales-Reyes on 22 May, one day after the forged letter was received by an Ice field intelligence officer.

“Thanks to our ICE officers, this illegal alien who threatened to assassinate President Trump is behind bars,” Noem said in a press release. Her department also released to news agencies an image of the handwritten note in light blue ink, expressing anger over Trump’s deportations and threatening to shoot him in the head with a rifle at a rally. Noem also shared the letter on X along with a photo of Morales-Reyes, and the White House also shared it on its social media accounts.

“We are tired of this president messing with us Mexicans – we have done more for this country than you white people – you have been deporting my family and I think it is time Donald J. Trump get what he has coming to him,” the letter said. “I will self deport myself back to Mexico but not before I use my 30 yard 6 to shoot your precious president in the head – I will see him at one of his big ralleys.”

But the claim soon began to unravel.

Last week, one of Morales-Reyes’ children told an immigrant rights group that he could not have written the letters since he cannot read or write in Spanish, let alone English.

As part of the investigation, officials asked Morales-Reyes for a handwriting sample and concluded his handwriting and the threatening letter didn’t match and that the threat was not credible, a source familiar with the investigation told the Associated Press.

Scott is currently in Milwaukee county jail, charged with armed robbery and aggravated battery. Prosecutors said Morales-Reyes was the victim in that case; he was allegedly assaulted in September 2023 with a box cutter during an attempted theft of his bike. As the case prepared to go to trial, Ice this month received the letter threatening to assassinate Trump.

According to a transcript of a phone call prosecutors say Scott made while awaiting trial for assaulting Morales-Reyes, Scott framed Morales-Reyes to keep him from testifying against him. “If he gets picked up by Ice,” Scott allegedly said in the call, “there won’t be a jury trial, so they will probably dismiss it that day. That’s my plan.”

Morales-Reyes works as a dishwasher in Milwaukee, where he lives with his wife and three children. He had recently applied for a U visa, which is carved out for people in the country illegally who become victims of serious crimes, according to his attorney.

Morales-Reyes remains in Ice detention at a facility in Juneau, Wisconsin.

Funny stuff is watching MAGA try to govern. Should have been call MAL - make America less.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is back in the US to face trial:



He was indicted and charged after his deportation in a red state… we’ll see how it goes but this is a win for due process.

I thought it was a clerical error.

Dude, you folks are on the wrong side of every issue.

Thinking one side is always right is one of the biggest parts of the overall problem. Moving further left or further right ain't the solution.

As for "your side" always being right ....

“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” What the hell have we become?

Immigration enforcement—and the threat of enforcement—can negatively impact a child’s long-term health and development.
A child’s risk of experiencing mental health problems like depression, anxiety, and severe psychological distress increases following the detention and/or deportation of a parent. Since late 2016, doctors and service providers report having seen more children exhibiting stress- and anxiety-related behavioral changes, including symptoms of “toxic-stress,” due to fear that a family member will be deported.
Children experience toxic stress when they are suddenly separated from their parents, which negatively impacts brain development. They are also at greater risk of developing chronic mental health conditions that include depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as physical conditions such as cancer, stroke, diabetes, and heart disease.
A 2010 study of immigration-related parental arrests (at home or worksites) found that the majority of children experienced at least four adverse behavioral changes in the six months following a raid or arrest. Compared to the previous six months, children cried or were afraid more often; changed their eating or sleeping habits; and/or were more anxious, withdrawn, clingy, angry, or aggressive.
A 2020 study found that the detention or deportation of a family member was associated with significantly higher rates of suicidal thought, alcohol use, and aggression among Latino adolescents in Atlanta, Georgia.
A 2020 study examined the impact on children, families, and communities of worksite raids in Ohio, Texas, and Mississippi. The study found that many of the children of workers swept up in the raids exhibited signs of PTSD, including difficulty sleeping, frequent crying, and heightened fear.
Even before birth, immigration enforcement can put a child’s health at risk. The 2008 worksite raid in Postville, Iowa (the largest single-site immigration raid in U.S. history) was tied to premature and underweight births—complications that put babies at risk for infant death or long-term health problems. Researchers found that babies born to Latina mothers in Iowa within 37 weeks of the raid were 24 percent more likely to be underweight compared to births over the same amount of time one year earlier. This increased risk was not evident in babies born to non-Latina white mothers in Iowa.
Fear and uncertainty among immigrant families leads to decreased participation in Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). In turn, lack of health coverage through Medicaid/CHIP can hinder a child’s healthy growth and development and threaten a family’s financial stability. U.S.-citizen children with at least one parent who is an immigrant are more likely than children with U.S.-born parents to be uninsured.


You Goper’s want to prosecute the law? Prosecute your leader because nearly everything he does breaks a law.

Explain that after over 600 billion is cut from medicaid and the largest cut in SNAP benefits in history at about 300 billion hits in the new budget.

And maybe explain that to starving children around the world that now have no food or medical supplies.

Maybe you could explain that to government workers who were fired that had to be called back to work again because DOGE had no idea what their actual jobs were and how essential they were when they fired them.

I guess being wrong is about your perspective.

What is really sad is that they cut USAID that feeds starving children overseas, then cut SNAP that feeds children in the USA.

So much for the rationale that we could use that money to address our own problems.

Elon must be right. The problem with humans is they have empathy. I can live with this problem.

The lack of empathy seems to be a much bigger problem at the moment.
