Individual reportedly devised a plot to murder Trump and recruited a migrant to execute it. - Individual enthusiastically endorsed scheme for killing a migrant to eliminate President Trump.
Two weeks ago, a shocking announcement from Kristi Noem, U.S. Minister of Homeland Security, sent ripples through the nation. It was revealed that they had apprehended a 54-year-old migrant, Morales R., who had illegally resided in the U.S. and supposedly threatened the life of President Donald Trump. Images and allegedly threatening letters surfaced, further solidifying their accusations.
However, suspicion began to swirl shortly after. The authorities were forced to admit their mistake when another arrest was made. This time, it was a man - Demetric S. - who had allegedly framed the migrant, intending to fuel his deportation process.
Trump's Perilous Past Year: Foiled Attempts and Sinister Predictions
Supposedly hailing from Wisconsin, Demetric S. stands accused of penning a series of letters, purportedly written by the Mexican migrant, that outlined assassination plots against President Trump. These missives, riddled with menacing intentions, were directed to various officials, such as the Milwaukee Police Chief and the Wisconsin Attorney General.
One of the letters read, "Would you like it if I blew up the White House with a bomb while our esteemed president is inside?" Another chilling prediction detailed an intention to shoot Trump in cold blood during one of his public appearances. These letters brought back memories of 9/11, with the author drawing parallels between the notorious attacks and the imagined atrocity[1].
Trump's life has been on a perilous trajectory, narrowly escaping an assassination attempt just last year[1]. During a campaign event in Pennsylvania, a bullet grazed his ear. An attempt on his life was also made at his golf course, underlining the gravity with which the authorities view such threats.
Courtroom Drama: Key Witness Under Fire
During questioning, it emerged that Morales R., the migrant in question, struggled with English fluency both orally and in writing[1]. This led investigators to suspect that he could not have penned the sinister letters. His handwriting did not match, further casting doubts upon the authenticity of the threats[1]. When asked about those who may want to harm Morales R., he implicated Demetric S.
The two had a contentious past, with S. currently awaiting trial on charges of armed robbery. During his interrogation, S. confessed to sending the fatalistic letters, hoping that Morales R.'s deportation would prevent him from testifying against him in the court of law[2]. In addition to these charges, S. now faces accusations of identity theft and witness intimidation.

Insights:
- Demetric Scott, aged 52, is facing numerous charges, including identity theft, bail jumping, and felony intimidation of a witness. His alleged scheme involved writing threatening letters that appeared to come from an undocumented migrant, Ramón Morales-Reyes[4]. The letters contained threats against President Trump and immigration enforcement agents, purporting to be the angry ramblings of an immigrant.
- Craig Hanson, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, stated that "Scott's plan did not work, and his attempt to cover up his crimes by knowingly mailing threatening letters, in someone else's name, under false pretenses, failed." [5]
- Scott's motivation for this sinister deception stemmed from a desire to discredit Morales-Reyes, who was to testify against him in an armed robbery case. By framing Morales-Reyes for the threats, Scott aimed to have him deported and thus prevent his testimony [2].
- Evidence against Scott included jail calls where he detailed his plan and even enlisted his mother in mailing the letters [2]. Morales-Reyes' poor English skills, coupled with the inconsistencies in the threatening letters' handwriting, made it apparent that he was not the author [3].
- Morales-Reyes, who has a criminal record, faced deportation proceedings prior to Scott's scheme. His expected court date was June 4, 2025 [1]. The consequences of Scott's actions not only impact him but also have implications for Morales-Reyes, revealing the intricacies of witness intimidation and the challenges faced by undocumented immigrants in the U.S. justice system.
- In the midst of political tensions, a Wisconsin man, Demetric S., is accused of penning threatening letters against President Donald Trump, disguising them as coming from a Mexican migrant, Ramón Morales-Reyes, in an attempt to influence the immigrant's court case involving charges of armed robbery.
- The tumultuous events within the realm of crime and justice escalated further when it was revealed that Demetric S. had also forged threatening letters against immigration enforcement agents, compounding his charges with identity theft and witness intimidation.
