A dual citizen of France and Canada pleads guilty to sending letters containing homemade ricin to then-President Donald Trump at the White House and eight Texas law enforcement officials.
Pascale Cecile Veronique Ferrier sent threatening letters containing the poison in September 2020, according to the plea agreement filed in a Washington, DC, federal court. According to the agreement, Ferrier made ricin at her home in Quebec, Canada, and put the poison in letters addressed to Trump and the Texas officials. The letters included references to a “special gift” and said that, “If it doesn’t work, I will find a better recipe for another poison,” according to the agreement.
Give up and remove your application for this election!” Ferrier had previously been detained in Texas for several weeks in 2019 and chose to send letters containing ricin to law enforcement officials she thought were involved in her detention, the agreement says. After sending the letters from Canada, Ferrier was arrested when trying to cross the border into the US with a loaded gun, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and several other weapons, according to the department.
