Milwaukee Inmate Sentenced Forging Threat Letters to Frame Immigrant Witness

News summary

Ramon Morales-Reyes, a Mexican immigrant in Wisconsin, was initially accused by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem of sending threatening letters targeting President Donald Trump, which led to his arrest and public identification. However, investigations revealed that Morales-Reyes, who cannot read or write fluently, was framed by another inmate, Demetric D. Scott, who forged the letters to have Morales-Reyes deported and prevent him from testifying in an upcoming trial. Court documents include Scott's admission to writing the letters, and phone calls from jail discussing plans to mail them. Morales-Reyes’ attorneys and immigrant advocates have demanded a public clarification and correction from DHS to clear his name, emphasizing the harm caused by the false accusation. This case highlights concerns about misuse of immigration enforcement and wrongful targeting amid politically sensitive threats against President Trump. The situation remains under investigation, with Morales-Reyes still in custody due to his immigration status and criminal record.
