US EditionKristi Noem Claims Migrant Threatened Trump as Investigators Suspect Setup: CNN
- On May 28, 2025, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the arrest of Ramon Morales Reyes, a 54-year-old undocumented migrant, following the delivery of a threatening letter addressed to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and multiple law enforcement bodies, which targeted President Donald Trump.
- Investigators suspect Reyes did not author the letter and consider the threat not credible, believing he was framed to benefit another individual involved in a separate robbery and assault case.
- Experts conducted handwriting analysis, interviewed Reyes, and Milwaukee police launched an ongoing investigation into identity theft and victim intimidation linked to the incident, with no charges filed against Reyes so far.
- The letter expressed frustration with the president’s treatment of Mexicans and included a threat to assassinate Trump using a "30 yard 6," while vowing to "self deport" afterward; Noem shared this information and credited ICE for the individual’s arrest.
- The case highlights ongoing political tensions and law enforcement cautions as authorities continue probing the threat amid calls for reduced rhetoric around attacks on President Trump.
