A Mexican individual residing in Wisconsin, who was reportedly ensnared in a complex plot designed to have him deported due to threats against President Trump, was instructed by an immigration judge to remain in detention on Wednesday, even though he is no longer being investigated, as per federal officials and court documents.

“While this undocumented individual is not currently under investigation for any threats aimed at the President, he will stay in ICE custody as removal proceedings continue, given his illegal status in the U.S. and past arrests for felony hit and run, property damage, and disorderly conduct with a domestic abuse designation,” a senior official from Homeland Security shared with the local NBC affiliate WTMJ in a statement.

Ramon Morales Reyes, 54, appeared at a bond hearing Wednesday and was told by Immigration Judge Carla Espinoza that the court would need more time to decide whether Morales Reyes poses a danger to the community.

The Mexico native reportedly works as a dishwasher in Milwaukee and lives there with his wife and three children. He recently applied for a U visa, which is issued to people who become victims of serious crimes, according to his lawyers, after he was attacked in an armed robbery.

The suspect, Demetric Scott, 52, allegedly orchestrated a plot to get Morales Reyes deported before he could testify against Scott, who is accused of armed robbery in which Morales Reyes was a victim. Scott’s actions allegedly included sending letters in Morales Reyes’ name to government officials threatening to take President Donald Trump’s life and “blow up” the entire country “like 911 in New York,” according to prosecutors.

“I am not scared of the Trump Administration,” Scott allegedly wrote in one of the phony letters.

As a result, Morales Reyes had his name and face plastered on the Department of Homeland Security website by Secretary Kristi Noem after being arrested for the forged threats.
