An illegal immigrant accused by the Department of Homeland Security of threatening to kill President Donald Trump might have been framed by someone on trial for robbery and assault in which the suspect was the victim.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem on Wednesday announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials arrested Ramon Morales Reyes, 54, a Mexican national who entered the U.S. illegally at least nine times between 1998-2005, on May 22, the day after her agency received a handwritten letter allegedly from Reyes that contained a threat to kill Trump.

The letter stated: “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 [rifle] to shoot your precious president in the head – I will see him at one of his big ralleys.”
