Man Accused of Framing Another to Deport Him by Threatening Trump
Imagine someone wrote a mean letter pretending to be your neighbor, saying they would hurt the President.
Then, the police thought your neighbor wrote the letter and wanted to kick him out of the country.
But, the police found out the real person who wrote the letter was someone else!
Now, the person who wrote the letter is in trouble with the law.
The person they tried to frame is trying to stay in the country with his family.
A Wisconsin man is accused of writing a threatening letter to frame another man for deportation.
