According to court documents, Scott sent letters threatening to kill the president to the attorney general’s office, Milwaukee ICE officials, and Milwaukee police, while claiming to be Ramon Morales Reyes.
Morales Reyes, who does not have legal status in the United States, was arrested as a result of the threats and now faces possible deportation.
Investigators say Scott admitted to orchestrating the scheme in an effort to deport Morales Reyes before he could testify against him in a criminal trial.
