A Wisconsin schemer’s plot to frame a migrant for threatening President Donald Trump’s life unraveled spectacularly this week.
Demetric Scott, charged Monday, allegedly forged letters posing as an unauthorized migrant to smear Trump’s immigration stance and dodge a robbery trial, as Just the News reports. The plan? Frame Ramón Morales Reyes to get him deported before he could testify against Scott.
Last month, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Morales Reyes’ arrest, mistakenly believing he penned the threatening letters. Progressives cheered, eager to paint Trump’s policies as sparking violence. Their narrative collapsed when Morales Reyes’ limited English proved he couldn’t have written them.
A handwriting sample quickly cleared Morales Reyes, exposing Scott’s clumsy forgery. Scott’s real target wasn’t Trump but Morales Reyes, whose testimony threatens Scott’s freedom in a July robbery trial. This wasn’t political passion -- it was cold, calculated witness tampering.
Scott now faces felony witness intimidation, identity theft, and two counts of bail jumping. Milwaukee police say he confessed to writing the letters, confirming his scheme was about deportation, not assassination. The left’s rush to blame Trump’s rhetoric looks foolish now.
Morales Reyes, currently in ICE custody, tipped off law enforcement about Scott’s possible vendetta. His alertness helped unravel the plot, though his alleged criminal record keeps him in removal proceedings. Funny how the “victim” here outsmarted the mastermind.
Investigators found Scott made multiple calls about mailing the letters, per a criminal complaint. His sloppy execution left a trail even a rookie detective could follow. So much for the progressive fantasy of a grand anti-Trump conspiracy.
The letters themselves were a clumsy mix of anti-Trump jabs and immigration policy gripes. Scott thought he could pin them on Morales Reyes and ride the woke wave of outrage to freedom. Instead, he’s learning that forging threats against a president isn’t a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Morales Reyes’ limited English was a glaring clue from the start. Yet Noem’s initial misstep gave the left fuel to stoke their “Trump’s policies breed hate” narrative. They should’ve waited for the facts -- always a weak spot for the woke crowd.
Scott’s desperation stemmed from the upcoming robbery trial, where Morales Reyes’ testimony could seal his fate. By posing as Morales Reyes, Scott hoped ICE would swoop in and ship the witness out. Clever in theory, disastrous in practice.
Now, Scott’s facing more charges than he bargained for, and his bail-jumping counts suggest he’s no stranger to dodging consequences. The irony? His plot to silence Morales Reyes has only amplified the spotlight on his crimes.
Morales Reyes, meanwhile, remains in ICE custody, his removal proceedings tied to a prior alleged criminal record. His role as a key witness ensures he’s not going anywhere until the July trial. Scott’s scheme didn’t just fail -- it backfired spectacularly.
The left’s eagerness to tie this to Trump’s immigration policies was predictable but premature. They saw a chance to dunk on MAGA and ran with it, facts be damned. Now they’re left with egg on their faces as Scott’s selfish motive comes to light.
This saga underscores why rushing to judgment is a fool’s game, especially when the woke lens distorts reality. Scott’s no ideologue; he’s just a guy who thought he could game the system. Too bad for him, the system’s not as gullible as he thought.
Trump’s policies, often maligned as divisive, weren’t the spark here -- Scott’s grudge was. The real story is a petty criminal’s failed attempt to manipulate immigration enforcement for his own gain. That’s the truth, no matter how loudly the progressive chorus cries otherwise.
