A US federal judge on Monday declared a Canadian woman arrested on suspicion of mailing ricin-filled letters to President Donald Trump “a continuing danger” to Trump and ordered her detained and transferred to Washington, D.C., where she was indicted.

H. Kenneth Schroeder Jr., a magistrate judge in Buffalo, New York, said Pascale Cecile Veronique Ferrier, 53, a resident of Canada’s Quebec province, was a flight risk and had showed an inclination to harm Trump and others if released.

Ferrier was arrested Sept. 20 on the Canada-US border and a grand jury in Washington returned an indictment last Thursday, according to court filings.(Reuters)
