A Wisconsin man who investigators believe framed an undocumented migrant with threatening to kill President Donald Trump in order to have the immigrant deported has now been charged in the matter.

According to state prosecutors, that man, Demetric Scott, admitted to framing the migrant, Ramon Morales-Reyes, whom Scott allegedly stabbed and robbed in 2023 and who was set to testify in the assault case against Scott.

In an interview with Milwaukee police investigators, Scott “admitted that he wrote everything on the letters and envelopes himself,” charging documents say. “When asked what was going through his head at the time of writing the letters, the defendant stated ‘Freedom.’”

CNN has reached out to Scott’s attorney for comment. A court hearing has been scheduled for later
