An undocumented migrant arrested on suspicion of threatening to kill Donald Trump may have been the victim of a setup, according to an explosive report.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, dubbed ICE Barbie for her stylized anti-immigration photo ops, has accused 54-year-old Mexican national Ramon Morales-Reyes of writing a letter explicitly threatening to assassinate the president.

Investigators now think Reyes did not write the letter and it may have been penned instead by someone else attempting to frame him in connection to a separate robbery and assault case in which Reyes is the victim, unnamed law enforcement sources told CNN.

Yeah, I don't care for that nickname. Not sure if she gave it to herself or not, but it just seems needlessly sexist to me. Like, she's a huge piece of shit, trash human being. There's plenty of ridicule fodder that doesn't involve her being a woman or her looks.

Wow there's an ICE Barbie? I knew about Patriot Barbie and pretty sure she owns that one herself. Idk be offended at human nature I guess for the impulse to dehumanize women they don't like... but they are also both awful so I don't particularly feel bad for them when they are actively trying to ruin lives.

Although I don't doubt they take it as a compliment either since for many of them a woman's value is proportionate to their looks.

Heh, that's the other reason I don't care for it: she probably does take it as a compliment.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
