Woman sentenced to 22 years in prison for mailing ricin to Trump in 2020

A Quebec woman was sentenced to 22 years in prison Thursday after sending letters containing ricin to former President Trump in 2020.

Pascale Ferrier, 55, pleaded guilty in January to making ricin in her home and mailing Trump and eight Texas law enforcement officials threatening letters laced with it. The toxin is made from waste material left over from processing castor beans.

She faced a charge of prohibitions with respect to biological weapons in Washington, D.C., and eight counts of the same charge in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. She agreed to have the Texas case transferred to Washington for plea and sentencing, according to a Justice Department release.

In the letter to Trump, Ferrier urged the then-president to “[g]ive up and remove [his] application for this election.” After mailing the letters, the dual citizen of Canada and France drove from Canada to a border crossing bridge in Buffalo, N.Y., where border patrol agents arrested her after finding a loaded firearm, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and other weapons in her possession.

Prosecutors previously said she was detained in Texas for about 10 weeks in 2019 and believed law enforcement officials played a role in her time there.

When she pleaded guilty in January, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves said “there is no place for political violence in our country, and no excuse for threatening public officials or endangering our public servants.”

I’m surprised they didn’t give her a medal.

A foreign national enters the country armed and planning to kill the President?

That’s not just a crime but an act of war.

Not in uniform? Enemy combatant.

Not federal prison, gitmo.

They’re only concerned that she wasn’t successful in her attempt to kill Trump.

If that’s a woman, she is the definition of coyote ugly, inside and out.

I’m suspecting a long-time meth user as well. A “woman” that age does not have “zits” on her face. Those spots look like meth sores.

I feared seeing what she looked like....unless I get that image out of my head, most likely I will never have sex again.

That’s a good photo. You should see some of her other photos!

Maybe this was the FBI’s insurance policy.
