Just Darned Up a Migrant for Allegedly Plotting to Take Out Trump

Plot alleges staged attack against Trump, falsely implicating migrants - Individual reportedly celebrated a plot to murder Trump, aimed by a migrant
Remember the hoopla about a migrant threatening to off the Prez? Yeah, that was a doozy. Well, it turns out the accusation was just baseless. But as soon as the dust settled, another piece of the puzzle fell into place. A fella named Demetric S., resident of Wisconsin, stood accused of making it seem like the migrant was up to no good, all for his own gain.
Trump Dodged a Bullet Last Year, Then Another One
The crafty Demetric S. apparently wrote a series of letters, each signed by the alleged migrant, outlining a scheme to whack Trump. He sent these missives to various officials, including the police chief of Milwaukee and the attorney general. The letters weren't consistent in their phrasing but all pointed to Trump's immigration policies and death threats against our dear leader.
"Fancy a blast at the White House with a bomb, while Trump's inside?" reads one. Another letter threatened to put a slug in Trump's noggin during one of his stump speeches. The guy wasn't shy about referencing the 9/11 attacks, either.
Old Tricky D. narrowly escaped an assassination attempt last year. During a campaign event in Pennsylvania, a bullet grazed his ear. There was also an attempt on his life at his golf course. So, the feds don't take threats lightly.
Court Calls Witness, Ain't Gonna Fly
In this case, the letters seemed geared towards causing harm to the migrant. When the Mexican was questioned, it became clear that his English was practically non-existent, and he couldn't have penned the letters. Investigators asked him who might want to hurt him. The migrant fingered Demetric S.
Seems these two had beef: S. is currently on trial for a robbery, with Morales as a key witness. During his interrogation, Demetric admitted to drafting the letters, aiming to get Morales kicked out of the country so he wouldn't testify against him. In addition to the charges against him, S. now faces charges for identity theft and hindering prosecution.

Enrichment Data:
Demetric S. (whose actual name is Demetric Deshawn Scott) is a 52-year-old man from Milwaukee, accused of fabricating threatening letters in the name of an undocumented Mexican immigrant, Ramon Morales-Reyes, to frame him and undermine Scott's own criminal trial.
Background and Charges:
Demetric Scott faces multiple charges, including:
- Identity Theft: Scott allegedly forged the threatening letters, purportedly from Morales-Reyes, to intimidate him and prevent him from testifying against Scott in an armed robbery case[2][3][4].
- Witness Intimidation: He was charged with trying to prevent Morales-Reyes from testifying by getting him deported[2][3][4].
- Bail Jumping: He also faced two counts of bail jumping[2][4].
Details of the Scheme:
Scott allegedly confessed to writing the threatening letters himself, using Morales's name and address. Some of the threats included lines like, "I'll self-deport back to Mexico, but not before I use my 30-yard six to shoot your precious president in the head. I'll catch up with him at one of his big rallies." Scott reportedly enlisted his mother to help mail the letters from her home[2].
Impact on the Victim:
Ramon Morales-Reyes was detained and faces the possibility of deportation, despite evidence supporting his claim of being framed. His legal team and family have argued that Morales, who is unable to read or write English, did not author the letters[4].
- Demetric Deshawn Scott, a resident of Wisconsin, stands trial for composing threatening letters that appeared to be from an undocumented Mexican immigrant, Ramon Morales-Reyes, in an attempt to frame him, potentially influencing the outcome of Scott's own criminal trial, particularly his involvement in an armed robbery case.
- The fabricated letters, including one that read "I'll self-deport back to Mexico, but not before I use my 30-yard six to shoot your precious president in the head. I'll catch up with him at one of his big rallies," were aimed at intimidating Morales-Reyes and preventing him from testifying against Scott, thus raising questions about his political motives, policy-and-legislation, crime-and-justice, and general-news implications.
