Demetric Scott is facing four serious criminal charges in Milwaukee County for creating a fake letter that threatened the life of former President Donald Trump. Prosecutors say Scott wrote the letter and tried to pin the blame on Ramon Morales-Reyes, an undocumented immigrant, in an effort to stop Morales-Reyes from testifying against him in a separate assault case.
The handwritten letter was sent to Wisconsin’s attorney general, Milwaukee police, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). It claimed responsibility for threatening to kill Trump and expressed anger over Trump’s deportation policies, including violent and graphic threats. The false threat got a lot of attention in the news. Per ABC News, It was even mentioned by the White House and supporters of the former president, including Kristi Noem, who was the Secretary of Homeland Security at the time.
