Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has announced that an illegal alien has been arrested after writing a letter threatening to assassinate President Trump.

In a DHS press release, Noem stated, “Thanks to our ICE officers, this illegal alien who threatened to assassinate President Trump is behind bars.”

“This threat comes not even a year after President Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania and less than two weeks after former FBI Director Comey called for the President’s assassination,” added Noem.

On May 21, Ramon Morales Reyes, an illegal alien residing in the United States, sent a letter to an ICE field intelligence officer stating he would assassinate President Trump.

Reyes wrote, “I will self deport myself back to Mexico but not before I use my 30 yard 6 to shoot your precious president in his head – I will see him at one of his big rallies.”

Reyes has since been placed in ICE custody at Dodge County Jail in Juneau, Wisconsin, where he is awaiting for removal proceedings.

 

The threatening letter reads:

We are tired of this President messing with us Mexicans – we have done more for this country than you white people – you have been deporting my family and I think it is time Donald J. Trump get what he has coming to him. I will self deport myself back to Mexico but not before I use my 30 yard 6 to shoot your precious president in his head – I will see him at one of his big ralleys.

Per The DHS:

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem released the following statement after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested an illegal alien who threatened to assassinate President Trump.

“Thanks to our ICE officers, this illegal alien who threatened to assassinate President Trump is behind bars,” said Secretary Kristi Noem. “This threat comes not even a year after President Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania and less than two weeks after former FBI Director Comey called for the President’s assassination. All politicians and members of the media should take notice of these repeated attempts on President Trump’s life and tone down their rhetoric. I will continue to take all measures necessary to ensure the protection of President Trump.”

On May 21, an ICE field intelligence officer received a handwritten letter in the mail from Ramon Morales Reyes, in which he promised to self-deport after he used his gun to shoot President Trump in the head at one of his rallies.

Morales entered the U.S. illegally at least nine times between 1998-2005. His criminal record includes arrests for felony hit and run, criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct with a domestic abuse modifier.

He will remain in ICE custody at Dodge County Jail in Juneau, Wisconsin, pending his removal proceedings.
