How seriously should we take all of the death threats against President Donald Trump? Very seriously, I think. He was literally shot in the head by a would-be assassin, and another man tried to kill him in Florida after allegedly trying to buy weapons from Ukraine.
Libs of TikTok has posted the video from Fox News about an illegal immigrant who threatened to kill Trump in a letter to ICE agents. ICE arrested him, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem released a statement. Here it is:
BREAKING: ICE has arrested an illegal alien who threatened to ass*ssinate President Trump at his next rally.

This illegal alien from Mexico reportedly unlawfully entered the U.S. NINE TIMES and has a long criminal record.
Send him straight to CECOT. pic.twitter.com/1gPoM2d8ck
The guy should be behind bars. In Mexico, where he belongs.
It'd heard about that story yesterday, but today CNN stepped in with an original take: according to CNN, investigators think the man was set up. So, Noem was lying? Who are these investigators?

Let's hear it, Whitney Wild and Holmes Lybrand:
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted a stunning allegation on Wednesday: A undocumented migrant sent a letter threatening to kill President Donald Trump, promising to “self deport” after the assassination.
…
The story was picked up by multiple news outlets. The president’s allies used it to highlight what they see as the dangers of undocumented migrants and the work of the administration to boot them out of the country.
The problem: Investigators believe the migrant was a victim of a setup.
Law enforcement believes the man, Ramon Morales Reyes, 54, never wrote the letter, which was sent to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office and other law enforcement agencies, several sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
Instead, investigators suspect the letter was intended to benefit a separate individual who is currently awaiting trial in a robbery and assault case in which Reyes is a victim. They do not consider the threat to be credible.
In investigating the case, agents believe the person may have been involved in sending these letters, claiming to be from Reyes, in an attempt to have Reyes deported before the case could go to trial, sources said.
There's more:
Further, a source told CNN law enforcement reviewed jail calls made by a person they believe played a role in penning the letters. The source said the person asked about specific addresses, one of which received the letter.
“We are tired of this president messing with us Mexicans,” the letter says, adding later, “I will self deport myself back to Mexico but not before I use my 30 yard 6 to shoot your precious president in the head,” possibly at a rally.
"They do not consider the threat to be credible." Even if the guy was set up, which sounds like a stretch, he should be behind bars. CNN reports:
“[Ramon] Morales entered the U.S. illegally at least nine times between 1998-2005,” DHS said in its original press release on Reyes’ arrest. “His criminal record includes arrests for felony hit and run, criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct with a domestic abuse modifier.”
How about we just deport every illegal alien in this story? But that's right … Democrats and the media don't want a single illegal deported, not even Venezuelan gang members or murderers or rapists.
Democrats be like: He’s a dreamer… with ambition. Sure, he threatened the President and broke the law nine times, but have you considered his lived experience?

Is this the next Kilmar Abrego?

That seems to be CNN's goal.
CECOT for all illegals who are violent or make violent threats.

Nine illegal entries, threats to the president, and a rap sheet longer than a CVS receipt, and Democrats still out here crying “no human is illegal.” Girl, be serious.

Do I care that a man with nine illegal entries and a rap sheet is behind bars? I can't say that I do. He should not be here.
"The incident comes amid a heightened environment of threats against Trump and officials as well as increased pressure on ICE to ramp up deportation numbers," CNN reports. Yes, let's ramp up those deportation numbers. Find whoever set this guy up and deport them too.
