In a shocking but all-too-familiar development, ICE has arrested yet another violent illegal alien who threatened to assassinate President Donald Trump. According to Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, 54-year-old Ramon Morales Reyes—a serial border violator with a lengthy criminal record—sent a handwritten letter to an ICE agent vowing to shoot President Trump in the head at a rally. This brazen threat comes less than a year after the failed assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Thomas Crooks shot Trump in the ear. The liberal media, which routinely downplays threats against conservatives while amplifying every perceived slight against the left, has been conspicuously silent on this latest act of violent extremism targeting the 45th President.
Reyes, a repeat offender who illegally re-entered the U.S. at least nine times between 1998 and 2005, has a rap sheet including felony hit-and-run, criminal damage to property, and disorderly conduct with domestic abuse. Yet, despite his violent history and clear intent to harm a former and potentially future president, the left-wing press has refused to give this story the attention it deserves. Where are the outraged headlines from CNN, MSNBC, or The New York Times? If this had been a threat against a Democrat president, the media would have spent weeks hyperventilating about “right-wing extremism.” But because the target is Trump, they shrug it off—or worse, tacitly encourage such rhetoric with their relentless demonization of him.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem issued a strong statement in response to the arrest, saying: “Thanks to our ICE officers, this illegal alien who threatened to assassinate President Trump is behind bars. This threat comes not even a year after President Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania and less than two weeks after former FBI Director Comey called for the President’s assassination. All politicians and members of the media should take notice of these repeated attempts on President Trump’s life and tone down their rhetoric. I will continue to take all measures necessary to ensure the protection of President Trump.”
Noem’s words should serve as a wake-up call to the leftist media and Democrat politicians who have spent years fueling hatred against Trump. From baseless impeachment hoaxes to dehumanizing rhetoric, the left has created an environment where violence against Trump and his supporters is not just tolerated but implicitly encouraged. Remember when Hillary Clinton infamously said, “You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for”? Or when Maxine Waters urged activists to harass Trump officials in public? The mainstream media cheered them on. Now, as threats against Trump escalate, they feign ignorance.
President Trump, a tireless fighter for American sovereignty and security, has faced unprecedented hostility from the political establishment. Yet despite the constant attacks—both verbal and physical—he remains steadfast in his mission to put America First.

While the left and their media allies fantasize about his demise, Trump continues to expose their corruption, secure the border, and defend the rights of everyday Americans. The double standard is glaring: if a conservative had threatened Barack Obama or Joe Biden, the FBI would have launched a nationwide manhunt within hours. But when it’s Trump, the media yawns.
