On Wednesday, Noem shared an X post announcing that an "illegal alien who threatened to assassinate" the president was now "behind bars."

The post included a photo of a handwritten note that read, "We are tired of this president messing with us Mexicans," and it's time Trump "[gets] what he has coming to him."

"I will self deport myself back to Mexico, but not before I use my 30 yard 6 to shoot your precious president in [h]is head," the note added.

While Noem and other MAGA allies used the story as a warning about the supposed danger immigrants present to the US, it turns out that Ramon Morales Reyes, the undocumented man in question, never actually wrote the note.

Several law enforcement officials recently told CNN that investigators suspect the letter was sent by another man currently awaiting trial in a robbery and assault case in which Reyes was a victim. They believe the man intended to have Reyes deported before he could testify against him.

Authorities further determined that Reyes' handwriting did not match that letter's.

Despite news of Reyes' innocence in the matter and the fact that he is not facing any charges for threatening the president, Noem's post remains on her X page.
