"French-Canadian Dual Citizen Sentenced to 22 Years for Mailing Ricin to Trump"

A dual citizen of France and Canada, Pascale Cecile Veronique Ferrier, has been sentenced to nearly 22 years in prison for sending threatening letters containing homemade ricin to former President Donald Trump and eight Texas law enforcement officials. Ferrier, who expressed no remorse for her actions, will also face a lifetime sentence of supervised release and permanent deportation from the US after completing her prison term. The judge considered the defendant's conduct as potentially promoting a federal crime of terrorism. The letters included references to a "special gift" and expressed Ferrier's desire to stop Trump. Ferrier had previously been detained in Texas and chose to send the ricin letters to law enforcement officials she believed were involved in her detention.
