Ingenious. This guy uses Trump's knee-jerk deportations to attempt to beat his crime---not in a very smart way, as he actually bragged about his plan on monitored phones at the jail.
Now, ICE still has this guy..even though, of course, he wrote no letters. But he is an illegal...so..will ICE deport him before he testifies? After? At all?

Threatening letters about President Donald Trump that led to the highly-touted arrest by federal authorities of an undocumented immigrant last month were actually written by a jailed Wisconsin man trying to get him deported, prosecutors said in a new criminal complaint.
Demetric DeShawn Scott, the inmate, hoped to get Mexican immigrant Ramon Morales-Reyes deported because he is a witness in Scott's upcoming criminal trial for alleged armed robbery and battery against Morales-Reyes, a criminal complaint filed Monday says.
"I got a plan. I got a hell of a plan," Scott, 52, said in a recorded call from jail on April 27, according to the criminal complaint.
And in a May 16 recorded call, Scott, referring to Morales-Reyes, said, "This dude is a goddamn illegal immigrant and they just need to pick his ass up."
"I'm dead serious cause I got Jury Trial on July 15th," the complaint said. "And the judge will agree cause if he gets picked up by ICE, there won't be a Jury Trial so they will probably dismiss it that day. That's my plan."
