In what marks a historic milestone in the ongoing battle against drug trafficking, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Field Operations officers achieved a monumental feat with the seizure of an unprecedented six-and-a-half tons of methamphetamine, valued at over $117 million. 

This colossal haul stands as the largest ever recorded at a port of entry, underscoring the relentless efforts of law enforcement agencies to combat the scourge of narcotics trafficking.

Director of Field Operations Donald Kusser, Laredo Field Office, emphasized the significance of this remarkable seizure, highlighting the grave threat posed by narcotics and commending the unwavering dedication of CBP officers in safeguarding the nation’s borders. 

Kusser lauded the adept utilization of technological enforcement tools and the expertise of officers in identifying and intercepting such illicit shipments, thereby upholding CBP’s paramount mission of border security while facilitating lawful trade and travel.

The collaborative efforts of multiple agencies were instrumental in thwarting this significant drug smuggling operation. Special Agent in Charge Mark Dawson of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Houston stressed the devastating impact of drug trafficking on communities, expressing gratitude for the coordinated efforts between HSI Houston, HSI Eagle Pass, HSI Mexico City, and CBP. 

Their joint operation successfully prevented a record-breaking quantity of methamphetamine from reaching Houston, where it would have inflicted irreparable harm on countless lives.

The monumental seizure unfolded on Sunday, February 18, at the Camino Real International Bridge, when a CBP officer referred a tractor-trailer carrying a shipment of drying agents for piglets for secondary inspection.

A thorough examination, including canine detection and the use of non-intrusive inspection systems, revealed the presence of approximately 13,101 pounds of alleged methamphetamine concealed within the vehicle. With an estimated street value exceeding $117 million, the intercepted narcotics represent a significant blow to criminal organizations engaged in drug trafficking.

CBP swiftly seized the illicit contraband, initiating an investigation spearheaded by Homeland Security Investigations special agents to further probe the origins and logistics of the smuggling operation. 

The collaborative efforts of CBP and HSI underscore the unwavering commitment of law enforcement agencies to combat drug trafficking and safeguard communities from the devastating consequences of narcotics proliferation.

As authorities continue to disrupt and dismantle illicit drug networks, this historic seizure serves as a testament to the vigilance and dedication of frontline officers in confronting the multifaceted challenges posed by transnational criminal organizations. 

The successful interdiction of such a vast quantity of methamphetamine underscores the critical importance of bolstering border security measures and enhancing cooperation among law enforcement agencies to stem the flow of illegal drugs into the United States.
