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.

If being the anti-fascist is wrong, I’ll happily be wrong. Stop smoking trump-crack…

The situation in LA with people waving these Mexican flags...kind of reminds of...wait a second...an insurrection!

What did you think January 6 was?

Only this time the National Guard was called in because of why it's happening and the color of those involved. How many of these people do you think will be pardoned?

So they'll all be pardoned as if nothing wrong happened?

The total disregard of law and order in California is very alarming. The disrespect these animals are showing the police is alarming. It is about time real bullets start flying before police or national guardsman get injured.

I know that they are all tourists. I have been told that before. Hope we apply the same standard in Washington. Agent Orange and the Apartheid Party. P.I.N.O.

All what I can think is that we are about to have another Kent State situation on our hands.

It has all the elements necessary, but in reality Trump started the fire by going in with the storm troupers.

Tin soldiers and Trumpsters men

There are some people committing crimes in L.A. Those who are should be arrested, tried and convicted of those crimes. NONE of the crimes being committed carry the death penalty. Did you think those committing crimes and injuring police officers on Jan. 6th should have been fired at with "real bullets"? Did you refer to them as animals too? Or since they were white and committing crimes for trump is that somehow different? Do the people committing these crimes on L.A. deserve to be pardoned as well?

It's odd that my post was deleted but your post calling for people to be murdered in the streets is allowed to stand. Murica! Freedumb!

This.

I am not calling for murder. Just that police officers and national guard troops can properly protect themselves from rioters.

You most certainly are. So you're just going to ignore my questions? Should that have been done to people who overwhelmed and assaulted police officers on Jan. 6th? Did you call them animals? If not why didn't you call them animals but you call these people animals? Should these people who are committing crimes be pardoned like the Jan. 6th rioters were?

Do you even hear yourself?

WOW, ain't we human beings great......call for real bullets/ lets kill or seriously injure people who are illegally demonstrating.....that is really sad. Maxine Waters getting her sound bite- please don't shoot people with those rifles-- WOW- Democrats got to get there noses/heads in national sights. She's accomplishing NOTHING.

I'm just old guy- don't understand sanctuary cities- sactuary states---- Americans, all Americans should support national and state laws- national laws are federal laws-- an illegal person in USA ISN'T a citizen and they DO cost us lots of money. If you are illegal and in USA, you should be deported---the MAJORITY of citizens...including many Democrats want illegals deported. We got crazy stuff happening in many states- issue driver licences to ILLEGALS- how/ why?, lots of stupid stuff.....and ICE, should be able to pick up ANY illegal ANYWHERE.

I dislike Trump, but his immigration actions are THE thing he got elected for....and controlling the border. Keep it UP and expand ICE. I'm American, and in Florida.

LA has got it wrong- peaceful protest keeps streets clear, business and all other citizens able to do what they want- protesters didn't do that. Arrest them.

this is exactly what trump needed to enact the insurrection act to move to a police state. He does not have anyone around him like Kelly, Mattis or Milley to tell him he can't-he will act out on his stupid impulses and he will be cheered on by the goons.
This will get worse and expand out of LA to other areas-and probably rather quickly.

Both cases the people involved were animals and did not follow law and order. I do not believe Trump should have pardoned anyone that entered the capitol building. Precedence should have been set that, that kind of behavior will not be tolerated. In this country we all have rights in the first amendment for peaceful protest. What is happening in LA is not peaceful protest. Hitting the men and women of uniform with mexican flags. Throwing fireworks, rocks, bottles, and other items at the men and women of uniform is wrong. Throwing these items off overpass bridges at moving vehicles can become deadly. Bottom line is what is happening now is not peaceful protest and must be dealt with in a manner that protects our men and women in uniform.

Rioters do not deserve the right any longer to be called humans. They are animals and need to be treated as animals.

What is your definition of a GOON- an ICE agent? America's Voice- " a liberal immigration" site talks about safe cities/ safe states- don't arrest immigrants for traffic violations, broken tail lights, etc...normal citizen stuff.....PROBLEM- THEIR definition of an IMMIGRANT includes EVERY ILLEGAL immigrant with legal immigrants-- Democrats have / fight for ILLEGAL immigrants, and left borders OPEN for THEIR future voters.

JMHO, twelve states have it COMPLETELY wrong- issuing drivers licenses to illegals--- do they use these licenses to get other benefits, do these illegals use our hospitals, roads, etc....an illegal immigrant is by definition a criminal....they are in the country illegally.....they should be deported.

Can you name any crime that has been committed in L.A. that has the death penalty attached to it? None of these crimes have a penalty of death under law. I don't think we're that far apart. I don't really care who it is committing crimes. They should all be arrested, tried and sentenced if found guilty. That's the very foundation of our entire justice system. I certainly refuse to give carte blanche to crime. I agree that those who are in our nation illegally be deported. I do not however think that those who are going through the process of asylum should be arrested when appearing for their hearing. I don't think that those with valid visas should be arrested and deported simply because this administration doesn't like what they say.

But there is nothing rational or reasonable about claiming that those involved in criminal activities, other than attempting to kill another human being should be fired at with "real bullets".

I witnessed and lived through four students being killed and nine wounded at Kent State in May of 1970 by people who thought just like you do. It is a stain on our nations history. It's something you may wish to keep in mind before boarding the crazy train and saying insidious things like that. It's a lesson I thought our nation had learned from and moved past. Maybe not as much as I had thought.

Thanks for addressing my questions.

Rioters not human beings.......should be treated as animals. WOW. You be tripping. I dislike rioters- peaceful protest California doesn't include smashing LAPD windows, burning unmanned vehicles, etc.... I'm disappointed lighting at LAPD was so bad....hope all smashers of windows and car burning are caught and imprisioned.

Sad times on several issues- Jan 6 criminals should still be in jail, just like these folks should go to jail.....time will tell.

I don't think firing real bullets is issues a death sentence for the rioters' actions more than protecting our men and women in uniform and making sure they are protected. I do not want to see any officers or guardsman injured or killed. I don't believe real bullets are used simply to send a message or as a punishment it is used as a protection. As this escalates it may need to be used before any of our best get hurt or injured by our worst.

This is a video clearly showing a police officers purposefully shooting a reporter with a rubber bullet. If you don't think officers can protect themselves with less than lethal force ammunition and that they should use real bullets, then claim it isn't a death sentence to those they shoot with real bullets you are not thinking in a rational nor objective manner.

History tells us you are wrong. Kent state has proven that. Still you can't see it. You are directly saying that they should shoot rioters with live ammunition when they are breaking no laws that would impose the death penalty. I'll ask you again, is this what should have happened on Jan. 6th as well?

Rioting, looting and violence is never acceptable. But those that do don't deserve death.

The reporter clearly doesnt deserve a rubber bullet. But at least it shows the world, much of it that already knows, that Trumps America is an authoritarian rule of law and on a path to what we would call fascism if the same things were happening in 3rd world countries.

And the Trumptards cheer it on. Because they are very very stoopid.

I sincerely hope you weren't one of those mindless parrots that wanted "justice for Ashli Babbitt" and tried to make her out as some sort of victim.

As for the firing real bullets thing... I don't want to jump down your throat for letting an emotionally-charged comment slip on here... so I assume what you're getting at is the various non-lethal methods law enforcement has at their disposal (tear gas, water cannons, etc).


Now that we got that out of the way... rioters deserve to be punished according to the applicable laws on the books. Anytime you try to go too easy or too hard on someone that breaks a law, you open yourself up for (legit) criticism. Trump's consistent response/handling of those found guilty of the various crimes of Jan6 is a stain on his office. Elected officials that cheer on rioters in LA and the takeover in Seattle accomplish nothing more than supercharge the culture war BS that is currently winning elections for the GOP.

Police officers deserve the ability to protect themselves with whatever force needed to ensure their safety. That is what I am saying. If 1 of our finest men and women in uniform gets killed, then it is a tragedy that could have been avoided. I do not have the same compassion on rioters. If they make an officer feel like they need to use deadly force to protect themselves then that is on them.

I haven’t seen any rioting and looting, have you? I see people opposing fascistic deportations of decent law abiding migrants, many who were going through the courts or have been living here LEGALLY for decades. This is ethnic cleansing for the racist base.

Minus the warrants that were being served during many of these ICE raids!!! Forget that tiny little detail huh?

What????? What do you call people burning cars in the street? Fighting police with fireworks, fire, and rocks?

Also, this is exactly what the country voted for, so what's your problem? We need to get ALL illegal immigrants out of the United States ASAP.

Every single American citizen should support that effort, including yourself. There is no reason not to.

Who…were you replying to?

Anyone and everyone who does not support everything trump says.
