Man accused of trying to get witness against him deported by writing letters threatening Trump
June 3, 2025
A Wisconsin man is facing charges accusing him of forging letters threatening President Donald Trump’s life in an effort to get another man who was a potential witness against him in a criminal case deported. Prosecutors said in a criminal complaint filed Monday that Demetric D. Scott was behind letters sent to state and federal officials with the return address of Ramón Morales Reyes. Scott was charged Monday with felony witness intimidation, identity theft and two counts of bail jumping. His attorney didn’t immediately return an email from The Associated Press seeking comment. Immigration agents arrested Morales Reyes in May after he dropped his child off at school in Milwaukee. He remains in custody.
