Migrant arrested over letter threatening to assassinate Trump

An undocumented US immigrant has been arrested after he sent a handwritten letter to the government saying he planned to assassinate President Donald Trump, officials said.

The man, 54-year-old Ramon Morales-Reyes, said in the letter he would “shoot your precious president in is [sic] head” before self-deporting back to his native country of Mexico.

He is now in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention in Wisconsin with deportation proceedings pending, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said.
