**Man Faces Charges for Allegedly Framing Another with Threats to Kill President Trump**

In a bizarre twist, a Milwaukee man is accused of writing letters threatening to assassinate President Donald Trump in a calculated bid to have another man deported. The allegations against 52-year-old Demetric Deshawn Scott emerged from a criminal complaint filed recently in Milwaukee County Circuit Court.

According to prosecutors, Scott's alleged actions aimed to frame 54-year-old Ramón Morales Reyes by sending threatening letters purportedly from Reyes to U.S. officials. These letters called for President Trump's assassination, leading to significant consequences. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem labeled Morales Reyes as an "illegal alien who threatened to assassinate President Trump" after his arrest and subsequent hold in ICE custody at Dodge County Jail in Juneau, Wisconsin.

The disturbing series of events began around May 21 when handwritten threats arrived in the mail, addressed to the Wisconsin Attorney General's Office, the Milwaukee police chief, and ICE. These letters, which contained aggressive language against ICE agents and President Trump, spurred the arrest of Morales Reyes on May 22. The complaints also cited a particular letter that expressed frustration with the president’s immigration policies and included a direct threat to Trump's life.

However, during an investigation, Milwaukee detective Timothy Keller discovered that Morales Reyes neither reads, writes, nor speaks English fluently. When questioned, Morales Reyes identified Scott as the likely individual with motive to falsely incriminate him. It was soon discovered that Scott faced pending charges of armed robbery and aggravated battery against Morales Reyes, with his trial set for July 14.

Prosecutors state that Scott, currently held in custody, discussed plans in phone calls using his inmate ID, talking about his case potentially being dismissed if Morales Reyes were picked up by ICE. Handwriting analysis further indicated discrepancies between Reyes's writing and the threats.

Scott later admitted to writing the letters himself, claiming his goal was to stop Morales Reyes from testifying at the upcoming trial rather than to actually harm President Trump. Further evidence came from a search of Scott's cell, revealing a blue pen and the address of the local ICE office.

Morales Reyes's attorney, Cain Oulahan, is working to secure his client's release, emphasizing the undue harm this situation has caused to Reyes and his family. As of now, Morales Reyes remains in custody, and the Department of Homeland Security continues to investigate the threat. Criticism has been levied at the agency for its hasty actions, as local officials argue that the premature arrest and statements put Morales Reyes at risk and fueled anti-immigrant sentiment.

The case underscores the complexity and far-reaching impacts of immigration enforcement under the Trump administration, which aimed to remove 1 million unauthorized immigrants in its first year. The incident has raised questions about due process and the safeguarding of individuals against wrongful accusations.
