CHICAGO (WLS) — An immigration hearing is scheduled for Wednesday in Chicago regarding a man accused of threatening President Trump. However, new developments suggest that the man was actually framed.

Ramon Morales-Reyes, an undocumented immigrant living in Milwaukee, will appear virtually before a federal immigration judge in Chicago Wednesday.

He was allegedly framed by another man for threatening President Donald Trump, all in an effort to have Morales-Reyes deported.

Demetic Scott, another Wisconsin man, is now charged with framing Morales-Reyes.

Milwaukee police investigators said, during an interview, Scott “admitted that he wrote everything on the letters and envelopes himself.”

This situation unfolded after Scott allegedly stabbed and robbed Morales-Reyes in 2023. Morales-Reyes was supposed to testify in the assault case, but instead, ICE agents detained him.

His attorney said he hopes Scott’s confession over the false threats helps Morales-Reyes in his Chicago hearing Wednesday.

Meanwhile, a Milwaukee judge sounded off on Scott’s plan in court.

“You chose to send letters to the president under the name of the alleged victim to have that person arrested,” Judge Barry Phillips stated. “All your actions were recorded via telephone.”

Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, along with other Trump allies, praised Morales-Reyes’ arrest, even as investigators were looking into the fact that Morales-Reyes was framed. DHS says Morales-Reyes is undocumented and will remain in custody for the time being.

Immigration advocates and supporters of Morales-Reyes plan to rally outside Chicago Immigration Court later Wednesday morning as he faces that judge.
