CBP officers assigned to the Otay Mesa Commercial Facility on August 5 observed a tractor-trailer hauling a load of plastic household items approaching from Mexico. Following an initial interview, a CBP officer referred the driver, a Mexican national, to a secondary inspection station, according to information obtained from CBP officials this week.

Additional officers carried out non-intrusive inspections utilizing an x-ray scan and found several anomalies inside the trailer, officials stated. An exterior search by a K-9 team also confirmed suspicions of the presence of drugs in the trailer.

The officers conducted a physical inspection of the trailer and found 414 packages of narcotics hidden within the cargo area. The drugs tested positive for methamphetamine and fentanyl, officials stated.

I love to watch all those youtube videos about Customs agents at airports,etc. They remind me of the time,some years ago,when I was detained by Canadian Customs for 2 hours while they pulled my car apart. I had nothing (I lead a depressing boring life) so when they were done they put my car back together and let me in. And I've entered Canada a dozen times since.

Story made me think of the San Diego Sheriff Deputy who almost died a couple of days ago basically from just being near fentanyl. Did the agents wear moon suits when entering the trailer?

“...5,528 pounds of methamphetamine and 127 pounds of fentanyl powder...”

OMG, that’s enough to wipe out a city. Thanks, China.

It was probably part of the delayed shipment to Martha’s vineyard for last weekend.

The drugs should have asked for asylum. Then the Biden administration would have secretly distributed it around the country and accused anyone questioning it of racism.

Any truth to the rumor that several of the Soros DA’s in California offered to book it all into evidence?

Drugs, one of the biggest problems, besides the ultimate one: denial of God and His only way of salvation from the penalty and death for our sin (and sins)—the Lord Jesus Christ—and a new life in Him, both on earth and in heaven.
