After a letter containing the ricin poison was sent to the White House, the alleged sender was arrested, according to media reports. The woman tried to enter the United States from Canada, news channel CNN reported Sunday. You had a gun with you, it said, citing security authorities. NBC also reported on the arrest.
Over the weekend it emerged that the letter had been addressed to the President of the United States, Donald Trump, and had been intercepted this week. The “New York Times” wrote even before the arrest that the envelope came from Canada, according to investigators, and that a woman was wanted.
Letters containing the highly toxic ricin had already been sent to President Barack Obama and then-New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in 2013. All mail from the White House is now classified and reviewed elsewhere, according to CNN , before I get to the seat of the president of the United States. Ricin can be fatal even in small amounts.
