Ramón Morales Reyes, a Mexican immigrant falsely accused of threatening President Trump, will be released on bond from a Wisconsin prison. The accusation, fueled by a social media post by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, stemmed from a forged letter written by his attacker, Demetric Scott, who sought to obstruct justice in his own armed robbery case. A judge ruled Morales Reyes, who doesn't speak English well, posed no community danger. While Homeland Security continues its immigration case against him, the government may appeal the bond decision. Morales Reyes, a father of three US citizen children, works as a dishwasher and is a victim of a violent crime.
