Yikes: DHS Says Illegal Alien Arrested for Allegedly Threatening to Assassinate Trump

Fox's Bill Melugin is reporting that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have arrested a Mexican illegal alien in Wisconsin who allegedly threatened to assassinate President Donald Trump by shooting him in the head.

According to the allegations from DHS:

54-year-old Ramon Morales Reyes mailed a handwritten letter to an ICE agent on May 21st, expressing anger at deportations of family members, and allegedly claiming he would use his gun to shoot Trump at a rally.
ICE arrested him the next day, last Thursday.
DHS says Reyes illegally re-entered the US at least 9 times between 1998-2005, and has criminal convictions for felony hit and run, criminal damage to property, & disorderly conduct w/ domestic abuse.
He remains in custody in Juneau, WI.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem issued a statement praising the work of the ICE agents involved. She said this came less than a year after the attempt on Trump's life in Butler, and less than two weeks after former FBI Director James Comey made his "86 47" post, which Noem said "called for his [Trump's] assassination." She called on all politicians and those in the media to take note of these incidents and "to tone down their rhetoric." She added that she would take all measures necessary to protect Trump.

It's probably not a wise move to allegedly send a threat to an ICE agent. And he's upset about deportations while he's allegedly here illegally himself, repeatedly? That takes a lot of gall. I don't think he has much to complain about if this is true.

The Democrats should calm down their rhetoric, as Secretary Noem says. Instead, they seem to be ratcheting it up, painting normal ICE actions as somehow evil and out of the norm, and of course, always whipping people up against President Donald Trump and painting him as a fascist, as though ICE was only started under him to oppress people instead of to protect us and the rule of law.

Can we count on Democrats and their fellow travelers now to rush to this man's side and find some reason to embrace him? I wouldn't put it past them. We've seen a lot of bad takes when it comes to illegal immigration.

Democrats keep being more extreme on the issue. It was one of the main reasons voters went for Trump in November - because they wanted a lot more done about border security and they're supportive of deporting illegal aliens. If they're going to get back voters, Democrats are going to have to change from their failed approach. But Democrats don't seem to grasp that and just seem to ignore that fact.

Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
