Pascale Cecile Veronique Ferrier, 56, a dual citizen of Canada and France, pleaded guilty in January to sending the homemade poison-laced letters to Trump and eight Texas law enforcement officials from her home in Quebec in September of 2020.

“The hand-written letters mailed from Canada with the ricin toxin each referred to a ‘special gift’ for the recipient, which was described as being ‘in this letter.’ Each letter stated that if the special gift doesn’t ‘work,’ then the defendant would ‘find a better recipe for another poison,’” prosecutors said in their pre-sentencing report. …

She was arrested again at the Peace Bridge Border Crossing in Buffalo, N.Y. in September of 2020, after telling border officials she was wanted by the FBI for sending the letters, court filings say. She was “in possession of a loaded firearm, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, two knives, a stun gun, pepper spray, a truncheon, and a false identification document” at the time of the arrest, prosecutors said.

[Prosecutors noted that she has “mental health issues.” No kidding. She also declared in her sentencing statement that her only regret is that Trump didn’t agree to drop out after receiving her letter. It appears she also suffers from intellectual issues. — Ed]
