Police Were Investigating if Migrant Was Set up for Threatening Trump Well Ahead of Noem’s Tweet
- Ramon Morales Reyes, an undocumented Mexican migrant, was arrested on May 22, 2024, in Wisconsin for allegedly sending a threatening letter to ICE about President Trump.
- Law enforcement and attorneys suspected the letter, written in English, was a setup since Reyes is illiterate and the letter's handwriting did not match a separate note.
- Investigators explored if the setup involved another person who attacked Reyes in 2023, tried to have him deported before his July trial, and sent threatening letters to government offices.
- Reyes' lawyers and immigrant advocates requested a bond hearing and correction of false claims, as his family faced threats and his daughter confirmed he cannot read or write English.
- The ongoing investigation has not led to charges, and officials acknowledged uncertainty about Reyes’ release or deportation, highlighting risks for migrants helping law enforcement.
