In Wisconsin, a man faces accusations of sending a handwritten threat to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office, indicating plans to “shoot your precious president in his head” in retaliation for the alleged deportation of his family by the Trump administration. However, his legal team and reports suggest this was a fabricated plot to get him deported.

Sources knowledgeable about the investigation told CNN and the Associated Press that federal authorities suspect Ramon Morales Reyes did not compose the threatening letter attributed to him by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. This letter resulted in his recent arrest and public exposure.

According to Morales Reyes’ attorneys and immigrant advocates, the Mexico native can’t even write in Spanish — “let alone” English — and he’s actually the victim in a criminal case that prompted the setup.

“A family member called one of our organizers letting us know this was impossible, as her father had very little formal education, and could not read or write,” said Christine Neumann-Ortiz, executive director of Voces de la Frontera at a Friday press conference, where she and Morales Reyes’ legal team demanded a response from Homeland Security, according to local ABC affiliate WISN.

“We’re asking for a clarification and a correction from DHS to clear Ramon’s name of anything having to do with this,” said attorney Kime Abduli, who is representing Morales Reyes.

Federal officials believe the Mexican father of two was framed in a scheme to get him deported to prevent him from testifying in an assault case, the AP reports.

“He’s actually suffered more than the average person,” said attorney Cain Oulahan, who is also representing Morales Reyes. “To be pulled into the limelight like this, to have a false accusation, the harm he’s suffered,” Oulahan said.

ICE arrested Reyes on May 22 and booked him at the Dodge County Jail in Juneau, Wisconsin, pending removal proceedings as he was “in the U.S. illegally,” according to a DHS press release, which included a screenshot of the letter Morales Reyes is accused of sending.

“You have been deporting my family and I think it is time Donald J. Trump get what he has coming to him,” the one-page letter says

“We are tired of this President messing with us Mexicans,” it adds. “We have done more for this country than you white people.”

The letter was received on May 21 by an ICE field intelligence officer, according to the DHS release. It said that Morales Reyes would “self deport” back to Mexico.

“But not before I use my 30 yard 6 [SIC] to shoot your precious president in is head [SIC],” the letter concluded, making a reference to a .30-06 rifle. “I will see him at one of his big ralleys.”
