U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said on Thursday that it seized 6.5 tons of methamphetamine at Eagle Pass port of entry in Texas. It is the largest seizure ever made at a port of entry in a single enforcement action.
The methamphetamine had a street value of more than $117 million, according to a press release.
The seizure was made at the Camino Real International Bridge on Feb. 18, when a CBP officer referred a tractor trailer manifesting a shipment of drying agents for piglets for secondary inspection.
The CBP said that its officers conducted “a canine and non-intrusive inspection system examination” on the truck and found nearly 13,101 pounds of alleged methamphetamine.
Mark Dawson, the special agent in charge from Homeland Security Investigations Houston, said the seizure of “a record-breaking amount” of narcotics prevented “an untold number of lives” from being destroyed.
“For far too long, drug trafficking organizations have been raking in billions of dollars at the expense of our communities that are left ravaged by addiction, death, and despair as a result of these poisonous substances,” he said.

CBP Siezes 6.5 Tons of Meth in Eagle Pass, Largest Seizure Made at a Port of Entry
Probably the whole amount was going to the Democratic National Convention for the delegates
G’wine B lots of agonizing libertarians on FR.
“”for secondary inspection.””
Thank goodness...they’ve kept the BP busy doing other things but maybe they can get back to doing more of this....
Even more disturbing is that there are that many assclowns using it here in this country. The U.S. must really suck if you need to get loaded to “escape”. At the current rate of new “ citizens” arriving daily, it won’t take long to reach TWSH status.
WHAT IS A “DRYING AGENT FOR PIGLETS”??????
So, about a 1 and a 1/2 day supply for california then?
And let 46 million in… for a lil cash. Listening to okeefe at the border is eye opening.
If it wasn't before, then it is now.
“So, about a 1 and a 1/2 day supply for california then?”
It depends on whether or not Hunter is in town.
I bet the Customs agent asked the same question.
How in the world do you dispose of 6.5 million TONS of meth?
Hunter Biden’s phone was burning up this morning.
6.5 tons, $117 million.
I’m sweating, shaking and need a fix. This is getting series.
“How in the world do you dispose of 6.5 million TONS of meth?”
Through your government connections.
I’m shocked that my state legislators decision to make me show ID to get a pack of Sudafed didn’t solve the meth problem.
