DHS said a migrant in the U.S. without legal status threatened to shoot and kill Donald Trump and posted what appeared to be a threatening letter sent to an ICE agent.

Ramon Morales Reyes allegedly wrote that he was going to shoot and kill Trump at one of his rallies and was arrested by ICE agents.

However, multiple law enforcement sources now say authorities are investigating whether the letter was sent by someone else in an attempt to frame him.

Reyes, 54, submitted to a handwriting test that did not match the letter’s writing.

    In the initial press release touting the arrest of Reyes, DHS said Reyes was in the country illegally at least nine times and has a violent criminal history.

    “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,” Noem said after Reyes’ arrest.

    “All politicians and members of the media should take notice of these repeated attempts on President Trump’s life and tone down their rhetoric,” she added.

    Eat shit, dogkiller.

    Miller told senior ICE leaders that the Trump administration wants to triple the daily number of arrests agents were making up to 3,000 per day, according to sources.

    Almost like they don’t even care if it’s legal or Constituional for some reason. Because their oath to defend the Constitution was a lie, plain and simple.
