Pascale Ferrier had pleaded guilty to violating biological weapons prohibitions in letters sent to Trump and to police officials in Texas.
Pascale Ferrier, the Canadian woman charged with sending ricin to then-President Donald Trump in September 2020, was taken into custody by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Peace Bridge border crossing near Buffalo, N.Y. On Thursday, she was sentenced to 262 months in prison. | Jeffrey T.
But in September 2020, prosecutors said Ferrier made the ricin at home in Quebec and mailed the potentially deadly poison derived from processing castor beans to Trump with a letter that referred to him as “The Ugly Tyrant Clown” and read in part: “If it doesn’t work, I’ll find better recipe for another poison, or I might use my gun when I’ll be able to come. Enjoy! FREE REBEL SPIRIT.”
In a winding speech, Ferrier told the judge that she considers herself a “peaceful and genuinely kind person,” but gets angry about problems like unfairness, abuses of power and “stupid rules.” She spoke about feeling like she had done little to support her values while her children were young, and considered herself to be an “activist” rather than a “terrorist.” She expressed little remorse but said, “I want to find peaceful means to achieve my goals,” she said.
