LAREDO, TEXAS –U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers recently seized a significant amount of alleged crystal methamphetamine with an estimated street value of more than $4.2 million in one enforcement action at the Gateway to the Americas International Bridge.
“CBP has numerous layers of enforcement and our officers will go above and beyond to keep these illicit drugs from entering our country and affecting our community,” said Port Director Albert Flores, Laredo Port of Entry. “This seizure demonstrates how the officers’ determination, utilization of technology and canines led to the discovery of this hard narcotic.”
On Monday, June 18, CBP officers assigned to the Gateway to the Americas International Bridge referred a 2009 Volkswagen SUV, driven by a 21-year-old United States citizen who resides in Roswell, Georgia to secondary for an intensive inspection. CBP officers conducted a thorough secondary examination, utilizing canine units and the non-intrusive inspection system to locate the hidden narcotics. A total of 213 pounds of alleged liquid methamphetamine was discovered within the vehicle.
The seized narcotics have an estimated street value of $4,269,869.
CBP officers seized the narcotics and the vehicle. The driver was arrested and the case was turned over to Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agents.
You know why these seizures of drugs even make the news? Because they only catch a very small percentage of drugs coming into the U.S. from Mexico. It’s a fact. Look it up. They don’t have the resources or the time to thoroughly check every vehicle. Why are there so many drugs available in the U.S.? Read my second sentence again. We’ll never win this war!
Wow, Thank you CBP, you just saved many young lives with your diligence. Again thank you, and hang the SOB. Just think, if that entry had not been guarded, and all that poison had made it back to Georgia and other areas. No CBP at the entry, would make liberals happy. Whats that called again, Open Borders?
Allen I was right with you, right up until your last two sentences.
There, you were just spouting out more Trump BS & lies.
Trump has falsely claimed at least two dozen times since taking office that Democrats want to open American borders.
No Allen, Democrats don’t want Open Borders. Legislation has shown numerous times that Democrats support border security measures.
“In 2013, every single Democrat in the Senate voted for the immigration overhaul bill that would have provided about $40 billion for border enforcement, including deploying thousands more agents
and building 700 miles of fencing. The Republican controlled House never voted on the bill.”
Allen, you can thank your Republican pals for that one.
Thanks for the information.
And abolish ICE is not open borders is it lil’ buckaroo? Was Bodacious your teacher?

Why are you so sarcastic & antagonistic all of the time?
I know that you are the same person in all of the hostile comments since you repeat the same attacks against this bodacious person constantly.
And your derisive name calling of anyone & everyone that you don’t agree with is most childish.
Why don’t you try to be more civil, you could get your point across much better, rather than lambasting everyone that do not share your point of view
Most Democrats do not want to abolish ICE.
ICE does some functions that are very much needed & critical.
Reform ICE? Yes.
Under Trump, ICE has become something that it was never meant to be.It has become a political strong-arm of Trump’s agenda.
Even many ICE officials have derided its current state and call for reform.
Ben, I don’t put a whole lot of stock in what anonymous says because he won’t use a moniker that identifies himself. It might be because he never has any facts to support his opinions, he just likes to bash people who don’t see things the way he does. It doesn’t bother me so much because I am used to it. It does bother him, however, as you will soon see.
Should have had kids in the car –
