A Mexican man who was framed in a case involving a letter threatening to kill President Donald Trump can be released from custody if he posts bond.

The development, reported by ABC News, comes after another man confessed to impersonating Ramon Morales-Reyes in the letter.

Concretely, Demetric D. Scott has been charged with witness intimidation, identity theft and two counts of bail jumping after sending the letter to state and federal officials with the return address of Reyes.

The letter written in blue ink on lined paper, stated: "We are tired of this president messing with us Mexicans – We have done more for this country than you white people – you have been deporting my family and I think it is time Donald J. Trump get what he has coming to him." The letter impersonating Morales added that he intended to "shoot your precious president in is [sic] head" and then "self-deport" to Mexico.

However, investigators then talked to Morales Reyes and obtained a handwriting sample, concluding concluding that it was different than the letter sent to authorities. He is now listed as a victim, with the trial scheduled for July.

Morales Reyes lives in Milwaukee with his wife and three children, and works as a dishwasher. He had applied for a U visa, given to people living in the country unlawfully and become victims of serious crimes. One of his lawyers told the outlet that the main goal is now securing his release and pursue potential relief.
