WASHINGTON -- A suspect who allegedly sent a letter containing the deadly poison ricin to the White House was detained trying to enter the United States from Canada, a federal law enforcement official said Sunday.

Additional information about the person was not immediately available. The suspect was detained by Customs and Border Protection agents, a federal law enforcement official said. The FBI said Saturday that it was investigating a suspicious letter addressed to President Donald Trump that had been intercepted.

It wasn't clear when the letter was sent or where it was intercepted. Law enforcement officials said the poison, which is highly toxic and can cause nausea, vomiting, organ failure and death, was detected at an off-site facility that screens mail addressed to the White House.

The ricin was confirmed in field and laboratory tests.

1. That was quick

Sounds like Canadian authorities will want to know a few things from her as well. How did they solve this so fast?

Either a false flag event to drum up public sympathies and paranoia, or this woman gets an 'F' at spycraft. I suspect it's the latter.

4. Ditto!

[liberalgunwilltravel]

2. First Mistake

Probably shouldn't have been wearing the "I sent Ricin to the White House and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."

[sandensea]

3. This has false flag written all over it

It was long feared Cheeto would resort to some false flag incident to turn the tables - so we can probably expect more of these as the elections approach.

Next up: a grazed buttock?

"I'm alright folks," Orange Amin will tweet from a hospital bed. "The Mexican culprit was apprehended, and was found with tons of Biden campaign materials."

6. Totally agree with your statement. Lots more coming.

If only tRUMP had built the wall that Mexico paid for on the Canadian border things like this would never happen. #VoteBlue to end this nightmare!

[sandensea]

7. It is what it is

Plus, when it comes to false flags, we've got Vlad and Bibi to worry about!

They know all about those (especially Bibi).

[Polly Hennessey]

5. Yeah. Right.

[mainer]

8. "Carrying a gun." Sounds more and more like MAGA

False flag.

[Aussie105]

9. Naughty!

If it isn't a fake story, the motivation behind the little message-in-the-mail is probably quite clear.

Naughty, but understandable.

If it is a fake 'poor Donald!' attempt, expect more of the same.

[Laha]

10. I am rather cynical

But even as a Canadian I am leaning to the side of this is more of a case of stupid than anything more sinister. Although I am curious about where the ricin came from.

[catsudon]

11. you're right

She seriously thought that a "head of state" will personally handle packages sent by random people? A natural born genius.

[llashram]

12. Yeah, yeah, yeah

BS false-flag to make stump the victim again.
