US EditionAn immigrant Wisconsin man falsely accused of threatening Trump can be released on bond
- Demetric Scott, a 52-year-old Milwaukee man, faces four felony charges and will appear Tuesday for a preliminary hearing related to threatening letters sent about President Trump.
- Scott confessed to drafting threatening letters and falsely implicating undocumented immigrant Ramon Morales-Reyes in order to have him deported and thus keep him from providing testimony in a criminal proceeding.
- Morales-Reyes, a 54-year-old Mexican immigrant arrested May 22 and held on suspected threats, was linked falsely to the letters bearing his address and nonmatching handwriting.
- Judge Carla Espinoza ruled Tuesday morning that Morales-Reyes can be released on $7,500 bond, stating he is not a danger to the community, with a next hearing on July 10 if bond is unmet.
- The case suggests efforts by Scott to deport Morales-Reyes before testimony, and it highlights the ongoing challenges in immigration enforcement and witness intimidation.
