　　The suspect was detained by the US Customs and Border Protection at the Peace Bridge border checkpoint near Buffalo on the 20th. She is expected to face federal charges due to a letter intercepted last week.

　　According to reports, the woman tried to enter the country again after being deported from the United States a year ago due to a criminal act.

When the authorities arrested her, they also found that she was carrying a gun.

　　The FBI stated on September 19 that law enforcement agencies intercepted a mail addressed to President Trump containing ricin.

　　The FBI said in a statement that the drug letter was "a suspicious letter received by the U.S. government post office."

According to reports, mail sent to the White House will be screened in a location away from the White House.

　　The woman’s name was not immediately announced, but she is expected to appear in Buffalo Federal Court on the 22nd.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Buffalo said that the hearing is scheduled to be held at 4 pm local time on the 22nd. Judge Schroeder will attend in person instead of holding a video hearing.

　　Canadian police said they searched an apartment unit on the outskirts of Montreal, and the police refused to disclose whether the house belonged to the suspect.

Canadian media stated that the suspect has dual citizenship in Canada and France.

　　Ricin is a highly toxic compound extracted from castor beans and has been used for intimidation and other purposes.

It can be used in powder, granule, mist or acid form.

If ingested, it can cause nausea, vomiting, and bleeding in the stomach and intestines, and then lead to liver, spleen and kidney failure, and death due to the collapse of the circulatory system.
