Immigrant Who Prosecutors Say Was Framed for Threat Can Be Freed, Judge Says
A judge ruled on Tuesday that an undocumented immigrant who prosecutors said was wrongly accused of threatening the president could be released on bond while the government seeks to have him deported. The man, Ramon Morales Reyes, who worked as a dishwasher at a Milwaukee restaurant, was arrested last month and accused by the Department of Homeland Security of writing a letter threatening to assassinate President Trump. Days later, Wisconsin prosecutors said Mr. Morales Reyes had been framed by another man who had written the letter to get Mr. Morales Reyes arrested by immigration officials before he could testify against him in a robbery trial. Even after Milwaukee County prosecutors filed identity theft and witness intimidation charges last week against the other man, Demetric D. Scott, a lifelong resident of Wisconsin, the Department of Homeland Security left online a news release accusing Mr. Morales Reyes of making the threats. Mr. Morales Reyes was not charged with any crimes related to the threats, but has remained in jail in the immigration case since May 22. Supporters of Mr. Morales Reyes, who is from Mexico, called on federal officials to issue a correction to their news release, which included photos of Mr. Morales Reyes and of the threatening letter, handwritten in blue ink. That news release remained online as of Tuesday morning, though Homeland Security officials added a disclaimer to the bottom of the webpage acknowledging that he 'is no longer under investigation for threats against the president.' When Mr. Morales Reyes appeared by video in immigration court on Tuesday, Judge Carla Espinoza said she had found 'that the respondent is not currently a danger to the community' and that he could be released on $7,500 bond. The government has until next month to appeal that decision. A Homeland Security lawyer did not argue against Judge Espinoza's decision during the hearing. At a previous hearing, the federal government's lawyer said she believed Mr. Morales Reyes was eligible for bond. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
