US Customs Seizes Thousands of Fake IDs From China

U.S. custom officials recently seized nearly 3,000 fake driver’s licenses—including one shipment going to a convicted child rapist —all of which were sent from China.

The six intercepted shipments, heading to different individuals in the New York area, contained 2,909 counterfeit driver’s licenses and 3,123 blank card stocks used to make fake licenses, according to a Nov. 25 U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) press release.

One of the shipments was bound for a convicted child rapist in the New York area, who officials suspect “entices minors with alcohol and counterfeit IDs before engaging in illicit activity,” CBP said.

The IDs were for various states, including Florida, Michigan, Illinois. Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, and a few other coastal states.

CBP authorities in Louisville also notified their Merphis office of shipments destined for that area, which resulted in an additional 527 fake identification cards being seized.

Thomas Mahn, CBP director for Louisville Port, said that the uses of fake IDs were far beyond underage drinking. These include “identity theft, worksite enforcement, critical infrastructure protection, fraud linked to immigration-related crimes such as human smuggling and human trafficking,” he said.

I wonder how many shipments have made it through?
China may be gearing up voter fraud. They do not want President Trump to win.

The US should have quit the International Postal Union back on November 17th.

Big question, do these IDs have the ‘new’ security marking that all of the prol have to submit to in ‘merica just to renew their LEGAL licenses?

I suspect that when the time is right, it will be revealed that the Chinese have been in league with the Dems to enable illegal voting

I’m sure you must be mistaken. There was an earlier thread from the main-stream media, which must be trusted, which claimed that China favors PDJT because he can be easily bribed. Unlike, for example the upstanding Biden family which is well known for its incorruptibility, sobriety and wisdom.

Between the fentanyl, fake ID’s, intellectual property theft, various forms of computer espionage, spying, and probably many other things not mentioned, China is waging modern covert warfare on the United States.

I am seeing a lot of these stories recently. I don’t think the crime is new, just that President Trump is finally turning parts of the deep state around enough that the decent people in the bureaucracy can finally do the job they have always wanted to do. Thank God for the rule of law!

This is why all ballots need to have paper hard copy to make fraud easier to investigate after election day.

Hanamizu said the mainstream media must be trusted. That is a sarcasm flag written in invisible ink!
