That's according to a law enforcement official who spoke to The Associated Press on Saturday.
WASHINGTON — A woman suspected of sending an envelope containing the poison ricin, which was addressed to White House, has been arrested at the New York-Canada border, three law enforcement officials told The Associated Press on Sunday. The woman was taken into custody by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers and is expected to face federal charges, the officials said.
The letter addressed to the White House appeared to have originated in Canada, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have said. It was intercepted at a government facility that screens mail addressed to the White House and President Donald Trump and a preliminary investigation indicated it tested positive for ricin, according to the officials.The officials were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Lorrainestadler Wellnits probably just the start... there must be many opposition to trump wanting him out ...
Where can I donate $ for her defense fund?
They found the ricin suspect in a week, and haven't found the anthrax suspect in almost 20 Years!
Glad it was stopped, Trump deserves to live a very very long life behind bars, he needs to pay for his crimes, no easy way out for him. LockHimUp
JFC, I might have my opinion on trump and hate the guy but that's to far what this woman did and I hope she get the book thrown at her HARD and I'm canadian we're suppose to be polite. Good job guys
Trump should have licked it before they found out!!!
She was almost a hero
If someone is smart enough to make ricin without killing themselves, they should be smart enough to know that the president has his mail checked for biological and chemical substance. Not sure what this persons intentions were, seems like a stupid decision. Hope they go to jail
Interesting that she lived just behind an army base. I was wondering where the hell she could've gotten her hands on this shit.
This is an attack on America! Let’s invade Canada and turn it into a National Park. We will dress up all residents in those red Mounties uniforms and have them give guided tours and hand out free little “shooter” bottles of syrup with the day we conquered Canada written on them!
I’m glad they caught them. I know tRump is an ass, but that doesn’t excuse this. We have to be better
Gimme a break. This is a setup from trump and the GOP trying to get sympathy for poor, fascist trump.
Even Canadians hate trump!
Never right
I don't believe anything was sent to him. IIt's just another lie.
Says a lot when a Canadian is committed to saving us from the current disaster.
背后有没有中共🇨🇳的黑手？
Darn
hero marymiller418
Maybe It's The Same Letter Which It Was Mailed To Eric In 2016 In Trump Tower!
Throw the idiot in a wood chipper 😈
That's fucked up right there
death penalty
Her 2nd mistake was having her return address on it?
Word is she had no comment.
I wish her well.
International terrorism.
Wow that sure was tied up quickly and neatly! It went so smoothly you'd almost think it was completely planned
JonLemire I wish her well
There are very fine people on both sides of the Canadian border
JonLemire Self defense
Take down the CCP
No way of knowing who they caught , US won’t be US if it weren’t constantly flexing
Who is behind her? CCP? Xi?
Whoever is responsible for targeting the president of the United States of America must pay with his/her life. You can agree or disagree with the president policies or actions but attempt to assassinate the president must be met with the most brutal force of the law
Trumps America
... this is awful! - we need to make sure that all letters get to the people they were addressed to!
Aha, a Canadian!
Better luck next time
As a canadian I must say I apologize for this rat bags action
What’s the Biden donors name?
They were dumb enough to think he opens mail himself. EVERYTHING that goes in the WH is checked and triple checked. What an idiot. Glad they were caught.
Typical liberal
Too bad she failed :(
Could be any one of dozens of women who accuse Trump of sexual assault.
A woman, and maybe Canadian. So predictable
Did she send it directly to the PuC President ?
You just can't count on the post office these days.
FACT: Trump LIED TO AMERICANS admitting he knew about the deadliness of COVID on February 8, but purposefully hid that from the American people until March 13 costing 200,000 lives. He favored his himself over us by hiding the truth. TRUMP FAILED TO PROTECT AMERICA.
Poor lady.
Canadian citizen running home or US citizen running away?
Hope she like her nice lil 7x10 jail cell for the rest of her worthless life.
So?
Does she need bail or what ? Is there a GoFundMe ?
Death penalty.
Next time someone will be more successful.
god bless president
GalacticRedPill I vote that, for a punishment, she has to sniff it.... Just one tiny snort...
Yay Canada
Lately, women are being the villain. Is this consistent with the bible passage that a harlot will ride the head of the lion?
Maddie412412 Can we bring back public torture asking for a friend
They should force her to open it.
So basically, Trump would have had to open the envelope and SNORT a large amount of the ricin in order to get poisoned, right? Does anyone really believe Trump’ life was even in danger here? Sounds like she is stupid or crazy to me...
This is exactly what adamcarolla has been talking about, women are angrier than men.
Darn.
STOP all the Violence People! VOTE!!
pxwhittle Melania got caught?
Cut her loose, only funnin.
Dear American People, the first pack relief for the unemployed and small and medium-sized business have had some of members belong to democratic party have been self-interested. FBI, principal federal investigative agency should investigate and prosecute those guys
An attempted assassination. Left / media have been fanning the flames of hysteria for 4 years. It’s not surprising someone was motivated to try and kill President Trump.
Fingerprints / DNA. Kamala will start a fund for her attorney.
imagine opening the president's mail and there's rice in it
Yawn...
Border is closed. Weird.
She must have watched Breaking Bad.
I can’t imagine any official gets anything more than an emailed scan of these letters.
If she’s Canadian we ought to give a her a medal ...
Damn
Heart should not be poisoned
The tolerant left.
Damn shame
HarmlessYardDog For all Americans on this thread, the Canadian media spends about half of their news cast bashing Trump. No wonder this happened. We have a prime minister caught in scandal after scandal, ethics violations, blocking the Supreme Court & they don’t even report on it. It’s all trump
She messed up BIG time
free this hero
The last time armed Canadians crossed the US border into New York:
At least she gave it a try.
Fake news
Is her name Nancy Pelosi?
What's her name? Is she Canadian? What is her ethnicity? No one is talking!!!!!!
The Bernie/Biden terrorist bloc is in full bloom.
The letter with the ricin addressed to the White House appeared to have originated in Canada, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have said.
Was it one of these chicks?
Chris11962 Fleeing, ha ha ha
after_theaction Mostly peaceful.
She's done man. I had a bunkie for a minute who was doing 10 years for writing the president a threatening letter one drunkin night and he didn't even mail it. Got mailed but not by him. She's gone forever
Seems Fishy Staged Trumpsky looking for sympathy?
Amanda_Bril Arrest the woman.
WOW. Canadians want Trump dead.
Saw that coming
Bye, Felicia.
JonLemire Didn't Joyce Mitchell get out of prison this year?please let it be her.
JimLaPorta CNN hire her yet?
HarmlessYardDog I'm guessing she was drinking wine with her cats.
what's her name?
Who cares ?
Sounds like a plant... maybe we’ll go to war with Canada so Trump stays in power
Give her the death penalty!!
Biden voter
That was quick....Still can’t tell me who killed Biggie or Tupac tho 🤷🏿♂️
Its a distraction for sympathy from the WH no doubt.
This a bullshit. The govt isn’t that efficient
JimLaPorta VOTE BIDEN
Remember when that 17 year old murdered two people and mainstream republicans defended him?
How is this even possible?
The USPS doing their job even thought realDonaldTrump is defunding them.
As much as I don’t like the Cheeto in Chief, poison is not the way to solve things, my dude. 🤦🏼♀️
Very good
PhGoffin Mariana_Betsa MajaEUspox SLOinBEL Update. Canadian woman suspected of sending envelope containing the poison ricin addressed to White House has been arrested at New York-Canada border. JustinTrudeau mofa_belgium samsungcanada
Not a smart move
Do either of these two look familiar?
She should claim insanity which was all caused by 4 years of Trump. It would generate lots of sympathy, although what she did was wrong.
I think we know the man behind it all
Was it her...
JimLaPorta Don’t hide the poison in a letter... HE DOESN’T READ!!! You gotta hide it in a Big Mac or a porn star! Rookie Mistake!
I want President realDonaldTrump out of power not dead & I want him to be taken down the right way which doesn't involve taking his life. Murderisnottheanswer
Let her go! Let her go! Let her go!
i don't really care, do you?
More idiots
Worth a shot 😔
If she would have succeeded, she would likely have gone down in history as one of America's greatest heroes of all time
Bummer.
This whole thing sounds like distraction bullshit. It happed before the 2018 elections as well. How convenient.
AdkEnterprise I thought Trudeau extended the COVID ban on entering Canada?
Aunt Teefa?
There must be more to this given the atetempt to enter the USA with a weapon. Also the quick identification and tracking and apprehension could mean the individual was know and being tracked by both US and Canadian authorities. Conjecture...known terrorists or activist ?
Trump probably sent it to himself he’s that pathetic
JimLaPorta How long did it take USPS to deliver it?
So glad they caught the person. At least I hope it's the right person. I'm wondering if she's an American who crossed over to send the letter, or...?
Trump said flipping on someone should be illegal, which tells me whatever length of sentence she get, she will do everyday if his law and order works. Imagine if you're being set up because you aren't loyal to trump. You will never see the light of day and death means NOTHING.
She seems innocent
JonLemire The “preliminary investigation “ says it could be ricin. Hmmmm?
quick work
Wonder if she’ll turn out to be Asian too. Care to wager?
Damn

Whatever
It's probably Ted Cruz
JonLemire Yeah. Right. It was all another con that went nowhere.
Even in assassination attempts, Canadians are polite.
is there a gofundme page?
I hate it when a true patriot is arrested by crazy totalitarian dictators bent on consolidating his power. Shame when the bad guys win. Just a general statement not at all related to whatever this story is about. I didn’t even read it. Huh? This isn’t where I parked my car.
🤔🙄🤣🤣🤣 right ...
Reality is truly stranger than fiction
Is Trump going to invade Canada?
Someone is pissed-off at Trump, eh!
Must be a Biden supporter
Bless her heart.
JonLemire Never a good thing😑
JonLemire I was hoping for a different outcome 🤣😃😉😜
How do you get caught mailing s letter? Can’t get away with shit anymore
What kind of an idiot could possibly think the mail goes straight to Trump or even the WH itself? Life in prison for her!!
Breaking Bad’s impact
What’s her gofundme?
Don't get CNAInsurance & affiliates keep denying coverage sleazebags. Don't be duped by CNA Insurance just keep getting my premium payments & all these promises in their policy it's scam.I lost my home, lost my business, got disabled & filed bankruptcy.BlackLivesMatter
