A claim by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that an immigrant threatened the life of President Donald Trump has begun to unravel.

Noem announced an arrest of a 54-year-old man who was living in the U.S. illegally, saying he had written a letter threatening to kill Trump and would then return to Mexico. The story received a flood of media attention and was highlighted by the White House and Trump’s allies.

But investigators actually believe the man may have been framed so that he would get arrested and be deported from the U.S. before he got a chance to testify in a trial as a victim of assault, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press. The person could not publicly discuss details of the investigation and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.

Law enforcement officials believe the man, Ramon Morales Reyes, never wrote a letter that Noem and her department shared with a message written 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. The letter was mailed to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office along with the FBI and other agencies, the person said.

As part of the investigation, officials had contacted Morales Reyes and asked for a handwriting sample and concluded his handwriting and the threatening letter didn’t match and that the threat was not credible, the person said. It’s not clear why Homeland Security officials still decided to send a release making that claim.

>>1409102 (OP)
In an emailed statement asking for information about the letter and the new information about Morales Reyes, the Department of Homeland Security said “the investigation into the threat is ongoing. Over the course of the investigation, this individual was determined to be in the country illegally and that he had a criminal record. He will remain in custody.”

His attorneys said he was not facing current charges and they did not have any information about convictions in his record. The revelations were first reported by CNN.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s records show Morales Reyes is being held at a county jail in Juneau, Wisconsin, northwest of Milwaukee. The Milwaukee-based immigrant rights group Voces de la Frontera, which is advocating for his release, said he was arrested May 21. Attorney Cain Oulahan, who was hired to fight against his deportation, said he has a hearing in a Chicago immigration court next week and is hoping he is released on bond.

Morales Reyes had been a victim in a case of another man who is awaiting trial on assault charges in Wisconsin, the person familiar with the matter said. The trial is scheduled for July.

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, said attorney Kime Abduli, who filed that application.

The Milwaukee Police Department said it is investigating an identity theft and victim intimidation incident related to this matter and the county district attorney’s office said the investigation was ongoing. Milwaukee police said no one has been criminally charged at this time.

>>1409103
Abduli, Morales Reyes’ attorney, says he could not have written the letter, saying he did not receive formal education and can’t write in Spanish and doesn’t know how to speak English. She said it was not clear whether he was arrested because of the letters.

“There is really no way that it could be even remotely true,” Abduli said. “We’re asking for a clarification and a correction from DHS to clear Ramon’s name of anything having to do with this.”

-END OF STORY-

>be in the country illegally, know the feds will pick you up after you show up to a court to testify
>whistleblow on yourself that you wrote a threatening letter threatening the president
>get captured, feds can't find letter
>cry crocodile tears about how you're a victim of an administration that deports illegals

>>1409105
Yeah pretty much this. A written threat was sent to the president, It was made to appear that it was sent from a very specific person.
Now the left is trooning out over the fact that the right investigated who sent the letter, and then announced to the public that it was someone different who the letter claimed to be from.

the shill references his fetish again

>>1409108
the leftists in his head are "trooning out"

>>1409108
Ice Barbie looks like a /Pol/ Troon. But then most hot women over the age of 50 look like trans women.

His post hit too close to home I see. Stay mad and stay obsessed

>>1409102 (OP)
Even if he DID threaten to kill Trump, that's not exactly a rare sentiment these days.

>>1409123
It is amongst normal folk.

>>1409134
normal folk here. half my family feels the same way.

How long until this bullshit story unravels.
lel. Sploppy work, APqueers.

>>1409134
Except it's not normal. You are a mentally ill freak on the losing side who already tried to kill trump 2 or 3 times and failed. Trump is literally more likely to ascend to an impervious demigod than for any of you limp wrists to actually kill him

>>1409135
You're not normal and your family is not normal.

So, here's the part that AP missed in it's infinite, newage, faggotry shillery state:
The man's an illegal immigrant and should be deported as soon as possible either way.
It literally doesn't matter if he was framed, it doesn't matter if he threaten to kill dRumpf. He should simply be deported and AP should stop being run by extreme turbo faggots.

>>1409143
Not so fast, he gets a hearing like everyone else

>>1409122
it's funny how you respond to shill

>>1409105
>>1409106
Y'all are as illiterate as the guy that got framed.

>>1409143
>It literally doesn't matter if he was framed
Actually people that get targeted like this are eligible for legal status. It's witness tampering and as a result he'll qualify for a U visa.

>But he's not legal right now
He'll be able to have his deportation stayed while his appeal is processed and if he actually was framed, he'll get legal status.

Also, absolute zero take: witnesses to crimes shouldn't be deported while the state needs them to lock up criminals. You should be more fucking worried about fucking crimes than civil infractions like illegal immigration. Dipshit.

We literally have an entire visa program set up to protect fucking witnesses.

God damn I hate useless racists like you that would rather our streets be flooded with violent criminals than brown people.

>>1409118
Hot woman stay hot until they reach 50, after which they begin to look like attractive trannies.

>>1409187
>flooded with violent criminals than brown people.
Playing the devil's advocate, bigot scum would say that violent criminals and brown people go together

>>1409187
>Actually people that get targeted like this are eligible for legal status. It's witness tampering and as a result he'll qualify for a U visa.
So, there's a motive for him and his handlers to lie? Interesting.

>>1409187
>God damn I hate useless racists like you
NTA, loving the "if you don't support illegal immigration you racist!" argument from leftists. Never gets old.
>that would rather our streets be flooded with violent criminals than brown people.
It would be nice if we could deport Antifafags like you along with your pet brown illegals, and spare minorities from having their small business catch molotovs the next time you want to have a "summer of love" again. Alas, all we can do is shoot you when you try to kill us.

>>1409207
he's talking about due process, illiterate lying faggot

>>1409187
> It's witness tampering and as a result he'll qualify for a U visa.
You're retarded. Deportation isn't a punishment and if he can't meet his court-mandated appearance, that's his problem.
He had a positive duty to show he belonged in the US and failed to do so. Afuera.
>You should be more fucking worried about fucking crimes than civil infractions like illegal immigration
Entering the US without permission is a federal crime. He's here, he wasn't given permission, so he leaves. And all you faggots can cry about it.

>>1409209
Due process means the state must give you equal treatment under the law. It doesn't mean you get a court date.
The due process owed to illegal immigrants is checking their immigration status and deporting them if they are here illegally, because that's what the law requires. Get wrekt idiot.

>>1409218
you're not american and you will cry about it

>>1409218
>Deportation isn't a punishment
You're retarded.

right---Wong Wing v. United States (1896): The Court held that undocumented immigrants have due process rights under the 5th and 6th Amendments, specifically the right to a fair trial when facing criminal charges (though not for deportation proceedings, which are civil).

>>1409220
>It doesn't mean you get a court date.
It literally does. Habeas corpus is a component of due process going back almost a fucking millennia.

>Entering the US without permission is a federal crime
Yes, but illegal immigration isn't. As evidenced by overstaying your visa not being a crime.

>He's here, he wasn't given permission, so he leaves.
Except, again, he will get a U visa. And you can cry about that.

>>1409207
>NTA, loving the "if you don't support illegal immigration you racist!" argument from leftists. Never gets old.
In fairness, you are racist. Also once he gets a U visa, he'll be a legal immigrant.

>>1409206
>So, there's a motive for him and his handlers to lie?
Him and his handlers aren't the ones claiming he was framed. The police are.

>>1409190
>Playing the devil's advocate, bigot scum would say that violent criminals and brown people go together
That doesn't really hold water when we're dealing with a specific case where they are given a choice between locking up a criminal and deporting a brown person and they're choosing the latter.

>>1409233
It's an administrative action, retard. It's not a criminal punishment. You are not entitled to stay inside the US if you don't belong here.

>>1409248
you're still not american

>>1409245
>It literally does.
It doesn't. Criminal court isn't the same as immigration court.
>Yes, but illegal immigration isn't.
Being here illegally is evidence of entering illegally.
>Except, again, he will get a U visa.
He won't. He will be deported. And god willing, you will too.

>>1409255
see >>1409249

>>1409249
Why did the South AMERICAN cross the North AMERICAN border? The chickens were on that side.

>>1409151
Ah yes, the method to retain beloved illegals for decades.
So what? He's guilty.

>>1409141
Wasnt it the far right that tried to kill him the last few times? That sniper on the rooftop that took an ear was a previous Trump supporter.

>>1409281
Then prove it in court. If you don't do that, we don't have laws.

>>1409281
>That pesky enshrined legal right in US law
Sorry bitch you have to prove that it isn't a valid asylum claim first.

>>1409102 (OP)
>As part of the investigation, officials had contacted Morales Reyes and asked for a handwriting sample and concluded his handwriting and the threatening letter didn’t match and that the threat was not credible, the person said.
This reads like a load of bullshit to me. The police absolutely would not use a "handwriting expert" to blow up their own case this way. At best handwriting "experts" are something the defense would try to use as evidence, and it would almost certainly fail because nobody believes these ass wipes they hire as professional witnesses for court.

>>1409255
>Criminal court isn't the same as immigration court.
The claim was you don't get a court date per due process. You're now admitting you do. I thank you for your concession.

Also, strictly speaking, anyone in US custody can file a habeas petition with the relevant federal criminal court to be let out. You don't lose the right to challenge your detention just because the administration says they want to deport you. Immigration courts aren't set up for habeas petitions. They just exist to decide whether you are deportable.

>Being here illegally is evidence of entering illegally.
Which is irrelevant as being here illegally is not in and of itself a crime.
>He won't. He will be deported. And god willing, you will too.
Die mad.

>>1409282
You missed the latest NPC update attempting to support her delusions.

>>1409300
>Why would they ever check that the guy accused of writing the letter had the same handwriting as the letter? This is absurd! Police would never ensure they actually had the right guy!

>>1409301
all illegals should be deported in the most humiliating way possible without trial >>1409287
there is no such thing as a valid asylum claim. we need to stop taking any claims and start putting landmines at the boarder

all esl shills will die alone and mad

>>1409394
thanks for the update, esl shill

>>1409397
here's an english lesson for you esl shill, if you sign your post, you should always hit enter after the final comma

>>1409399
I was just saying your name, esl shill. the majority of Americans dont like illegals. hell the majority of humans world wide hate illegals. you are just mad because you came in illegally to whatever non American country you live in.

>>1409401
it's amazing how you're too stupid to insult me in any way other than by parroting me. also, when you spend your time being a blatant russia shill in other threads, absolutely nobody believes you're american. faggot

>>1409404
stop signing your posts, retardo. the fact you are accusing people of being russian just shows you arent American and are a gay retard. only yuros and homosexuals accuse people of being russian. I'll keep voting for republicans and you will keep being mad and gay.

i think i broke esl shill. oh well

>>1409410
you broke yourself? I guess that's why you are samefagging and talking in the third person

it's so easy to distract esl shill from his agenda

pretty funny how the yuro esl shill has to try to derail the thread every time she gets btfo'd.
they should send the illegal in op to gitmo and torture him

>>1409416
are you calling me european because i actually know how to use english? i mean, i am white so ethnically it's not an insult or anything

>>1409417
you arent white and yuros arent white. I'm calling you a yuro because you are a gay retard. all yuros are gay retards

>>1409422
>white people aren't white
LMAO. you're extremely esl

>>1409102 (OP)
They just arrested the guy who framed him, confirming it was the same guy who assaulted him and was trying to get him deported before he could face charges for doing so.

>>1409393
It's spelled border, esl.
