The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has kept Reyes in custody despite claims that law enforcement does not find the assassination threat credible.<\/p>\n<p>Reyes reportedly sent an intimidating letter to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office,vowing to kill Trump at a future rally. After reviewing evidence, including handwriting samples, police concluded that Reyes may have been framed in connection with a robbery and assault case, in which he is the alleged victim.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the revelation of potential framing,DHS announced that the inquiry is ongoing and that Reyes will remain in custody due to his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/illegal-immigrant-gets-time-served-for-2015-killing-of-kate-steinle\/\" title=\"Illegal Immigrant Gets Time Served for 2015 Killing of Kate Steinle\">illegal status<\/a> and criminal record,which includes multiple prior entries into the U.S. and other offenses. Secretary Kristi Noem stated that thanks to ICE, Reyes, who did not end up being charged with the assassination threat, is still behind bars as they pursue deportation proceedings against him.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Illegal immigrant detained over Trump assassination letter was framed: Report<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2130000\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>An illegal immigrant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/immigration\/3424265\/ice-arrests-illegal-immigrant-ramon-morales-reyes-threatened-assassinate-trump-rally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">accused<\/a> of threatening to assassinate President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> is now believed to have been set up, according to a new report.
