Canadian Woman Who Sent Ricin, Threatened to Kill Trump Arrested at Border with Loaded Gun

Buffalo, NY – A Canadian woman who tried to send U.S. President Donald J. Trump a letter with the words “Give Up” written in the poison ricin has been arrested, in possession of a gun while crossing the border.

“You ruin USA and lead them to disaster. I have US cousins, then [sic] I don’t want the next 4 years with you as president,” the note written by Pascale Cecile Veronique Ferrier.  “Give up and remove your application for this election. So I made a ‘Special Gift’ for you to make a decision. This gift is in this letter. If it doesn’t work, I’ll find better recipe for another poison, or I might use my gun when I’ll be able to come. Enjoy. FREE REBEL SPIRIT”.”

On September 9th, Ferrier posted messages on Facebook and Twitter using the #killTrump hashtag.  Ferrier was caught crossing the border at the Peace Bridge in Buffalo, New York.  According to authorities, she was carrying a loaded firearm and a knife.

The letter sent to Trump was received on Friday, but was caught in the White House mail room, never making it to the President’s office.
