Exclusive: Kristi Noem said a migrant threatened to kill Trump. Investigators think he was set up
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted a stunning allegation on Wednesday: A undocumented migrant sent a letter threatening to kill President Donald Trump, promising to “self deport” after the assassination.
“Thanks to our ICE officers, this illegal alien who threatened to assassinate President Trump is behind bars,” Noem wrote in a social media post that included the letter and a picture of the man arrested. DHS also sent out a press release.
The story was picked up by multiple news outlets. The president’s allies used it to highlight what they see as the dangers of undocumented migrants and the work of the administration to boot them out of the country.
The problem: Investigators believe the migrant was a victim of a setup.
Law enforcement believes the man, Ramon Morales Reyes, 54, never wrote the letter, which was sent to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office and other law enforcement agencies, several sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
Instead, investigators suspect the letter was intended to benefit a separate individual who is currently awaiting trial in a robbery and assault case in which Reyes is a victim. They do not consider the threat to be credible.
Who are these investigators? Which law enforcement?
A high-level law enforcement official who was briefed on the case told CNN that law enforcement determined Reyes did not write the letter when they interviewed him regarding the threat. Federal officials asked for a handwriting sample from Reyes and determined his handwriting and the threatening letter didn’t match.
Further, a source told CNN law enforcement reviewed jail calls made by a person they believe played a role in penning the letters. The source said the person asked about specific addresses, one of which received the letter.
Is there one source that is named? They do not even name the agencies. That’s not to say that the illegal wasn’t set up. Hey, I think it could be true. But, this is the problem with the Credentialed Media: anonymous sources out the wazoo in order to Get Trump.
A spokesperson for the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin told CNN they have “no charged matter involving this individual,” and declined to comment further.
“Morales entered the U.S. illegally at least nine times between 1998-2005,” DHS said in its original press release on Reyes’ arrest. “His criminal record includes arrests for felony hit and run, criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct with a domestic abuse modifier.”
So, in order to Get Trump, CNN is trying to prop up this scumbag? Really? And, what if it is a different illegal? Is CNN OK with that?
Mr teach is scraping the bottom of the barrel for a “story”. If Kristi “carp lips” Noem hadn’t lied about it, CNN would not have reported it!
Rimjob was probably the “investigator”.
I used to believe that MAGAts were just angry assholes – pissed because the world left them behind – rewarding blacks, gays, women, libs – but not them. They ARE assholes, but they also seem extremely but intentionally unintelligent. As if they choose to see only a part of what’s around them.
Their dissatisfaction with life blinds them.
Fat Jeff, there you go, no one cares what you believe. It is always wrong.
Ugly david,
Your typings betray you!! You care!!
You are evidence that your anger blinds you to life’s truths!
