A Canadian Woman, Pascale Ferrier, has been sentenced to almost 22 years in prison for sending a threatening letter containing the poison ricin to then-President Donald Trump at the White House. Ferrier had also sent similar letters to police officials in Texas. She was arrested while trying to enter a border crossing in New York with a gun, knife, and ammunition. Ferrier pleaded guilty to violating biological weapons prohibitions. The judge noted a "disconnect" between Ferrier's productive activities while in prison and her crimes. Prosecutors praised the sentence as a strong message against politically motivated violence.
