Threat Against President by Undocumented Migrant

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted a stunning allegation saying

that an undocumented migrant sent a letter threatening to kill the president,

promising to self deport after the assassination.

CNN reporting shows that investigators believe the migrant was set up,

was a victim of a set up.

What is the administration going to do now?

And this is an undocumented immigrant,

I do want to note that, but this was someone who came forward,

was a victim of a crime,

and now law enforcement believes he was set up.

Go ahead. I want to clarify what you mean, so we're talking about the same thing.

Are you saying this immigrant was here illegally?

Yes, but I am, and that's why I said that. I clarified that.

Because you said undocumented, and I wasn't clear what that means.

I'm assuming they have a fake ID,

I'm assuming they have a fake social security number. That's neither here nor there.

That's getting away from the question, Steven.

I want this to be, and call me naive,

a good faith discussion about what's happening right now.

When we use language that's designed to obscure the truth, that's not good faith.

An illegal alien is an illegal alien. They're not an undocumented migrant.

That's fine. That's another discussion for another day.

I don't know the details of the assassination threat.

All I can say, based on what you're telling me,

is there's an illegal alien in our country who's making menacing threats,

regardless of the facts or circumstances. We don't want him here.

We're going to get to the bottom of it,

and I would gladly come back on when I have more information to share with you.

They were set up, just to be clear.

But quickly, where is the White House on habeas corpus? You're saying the illegal

alien was treated unfairly. I'm sure the illegal alien was treated very unfairly.

Next question. Where is the White House on habeas corpus?
