Canadian Woman Sentenced to 22 Years for Mailing Ricin to Trump

Pascale Ferrier, a Canadian woman, has been sentenced to 22 years in prison for mailing letters laced with ricin poison, including one addressed to former President Donald Trump. Ferrier pleaded guilty to biological weapons charges and expressed regret that her plan failed. She claimed to be an activist rather than a terrorist and stated that she wanted to find peaceful means to achieve her goals. In addition to the letter sent to Trump, she also admitted to sending similarly tainted letters to eight Texas law enforcement officials. Ferrier will be deported from the US after serving her sentence and will face lifelong supervision if she ever returns.
