WNU Editor: US Customs knew who she was. They arrested her as soon as she crossed the border. I would like to know if Canada knew that she was wanted by US authorities. And if yes, why did they not arrest her? My guess is that she was under surveillance, and when she tried to enter the US that is when the decision was made to arrest her. If convicted this unidentified woman is facing serious time in jail.

Package Containing The Poison Ricin And Addressed To President Trump Is Intercepted By The Secret Service

Daily Mail: Package containing deadly poison RICIN addressed to President Trump is intercepted by the Secret Service before it arrives at the White House

* Package was intercepted by screeners this week before it reached White House
* It appears to have been mailed from Canada, and investigators seek the culprit
* Ricin is a deadly poison that can kill in the amount of a few grains of salt

A package containing the poison ricin and addressed to President Donald Trump was intercepted by law enforcement earlier this week.

All packages addressed to the White House are sorted and screened at a secure offsite facility prior to delivery. Two law enforcement sources told CNN that two tests were done to confirm the presence of ricin.

The envelope to the White House was caught at the final offsite processing facility where mail is screened before being sent to the White House mail room.

Investigators believe that it was sent from Canada, a law enforcement official told the New York Times.

WNU Editor: I was always worried about President Obama and his safety. My nightmare was that he would be harmed and/or worse, and the unrest that would followed would scar the US for generations. I also worry about the safety of President Trump everyday. The fury from his supporters would also scar the US for generations.

Update: There appears to be a Canadian connection .... Letter with ricin poison sent to White House may have come from Canada: RCMP (CBC). I hope this is not true, but I would not be surprised. I live in Canada, and the anti-Trump rhetoric that is on the airwaves here is off the scale. Put it this way. When it comes to Trump the media coverage here is 100% negative.
