A Mexican national’s arrest for allegedly threatening President Trump’s life has taken a bizarre turn. Ramon Morales Reyes, 54, was detained in Wisconsin after a handwritten letter surfaced, but authorities now suspect he may have been framed, as the New York Post reports. The plot thickens as investigators point to an incarcerated individual with a personal grudge.
On May 21, an ICE agent received a letter threatening to assassinate Trump, leading to Reyes’ arrest the next day. The Department of Homeland Security announced the bust on May 28, noting that an “illegal alien” had been taken into custody. However, handwriting analysis later cleared Reyes, suggesting that someone else had penned the menacing note.
The letter, laced with anti-Trump vitriol, was received less than a year after the president was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania. “I want to shoot your precious president,” it ranted, blaming Trump for deporting Mexicans. Progressives might cheer the sentiment, but framing an innocent man isn’t justice -- it’s a setup.
Investigators now believe that an incarcerated individual, possibly bitter over Reyes’ role as a witness in their criminal case, wrote the letter to frame him. This twist exposes the ugly underbelly of vengeance in our justice system. Actions have consequences, and this inmate’s scheme may backfire spectacularly.
Reyes, no saint himself, has a rap sheet including a felony hit-and-run and other crimes. He has crossed the border illegally nine times since 1998, a fact DHS was quick to trumpet. Yet, his status as a repeat offender doesn’t make him guilty of this particular crime.
“The investigation into the threat is ongoing,” a senior DHS official said. But their initial rush to pin the blame on Reyes reeks of political posturing. The woke crowd loves a villain, but they’d rather ignore the truth if it doesn’t fit their narrative.
The threatening letter surfaced less than two weeks after former FBI Director James Comey allegedly called for Trump’s assassination. Coincidence? Or is the anti-Trump rhetoric from elite circles inspiring copycat threats, even if they’re hoaxes?
“We are tired of this president messing with us Mexicans,” the letter fumed, claiming Mexicans have done more for America than “white people.” It’s the kind of divisive drivel that thrives in woke echo chambers. But using a migrant as a scapegoat is a new low.
Reyes remains in ICE custody, awaiting deportation. “He will remain in custody,” a DHS official declared, as if that settles the matter. Deporting a man who may be a victim of a frame job hardly screams fairness.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem didn’t mince words. “Thanks to our ICE officers, this illegal alien who threatened to assassinate President Trump is behind bars,” she said. Her eagerness to claim victory looks premature now that Reyes’ guilt is in question.
Noem also tied the letter to broader concerns. “This threat comes not even a year after President Trump was shot,” she noted. She’s right to call out the escalating threats but jumping the gun on Reyes’ guilt risks targeting an innocent man.
“All politicians and members of the media should take notice of these repeated attempts on President Trump’s life,” Noem added. The left’s obsession with demonizing Trump fuels this chaos, yet they’ll dodge accountability. Hypocrisy, as always, is their brand.
The Wisconsin Attorney General’s Office clammed up, refusing to comment on the case. Their silence speaks volumes -- nobody wants to touch this hot potato. When the truth is inconvenient, bureaucrats scatter like roaches.
“I will see him at one of his big rallies,” the letter threatened, evoking chilling images of violence. But if Reyes didn’t write it, the real culprit is still out there, laughing from a jail cell. The woke mob won’t care -- they’ve already moved on to the next outrage.
This saga proves one thing: rushing to judgment serves no one. Reyes may not be a model citizen but framing him to settle a score is a travesty. America deserves better than a justice system swayed by political winds or personal vendettas.
