Feds seize $815,475 in cash headed to Mexico
Border Report ^ | Jun 20, 2025 | Julian Resendiz

EL PASO, Texas – Border officers have intercepted yet another massive load of cash headed to Mexico.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel inspecting cars leaving the United States over the Anzalduas International Bridge in Hidalgo County, Texas, report seizing $815,475 in bulk, unreported cash “hidden within the vehicle” earlier this week.

... The vehicle was a 2025 Honda Odyssey SUV driven by a 44-year-old male U.S. citizen. Homeland Security Investigations agents are investigating the man, the source and the destination of the cash.

“Our CBP officers’ continued vigilance led to this major currency seizure. These outbound interceptions are key in disrupting criminal networks and limiting their access to illegal profits,” Hidalgo Port Director Carlos Rodriguez said following the June 16 seizure.

CBP has seized more than $7.3 million at Southwestern border crossings so far this fiscal year that started Oct. 1. In FY 2024, the agency seized $13.7 million and $14.7 million a year before that.

On May 2, border officers seized $184,000 in cash headed to Mexico over the Brownsville (Texas) and Matamoros International Bridge. On April 8, CBP reported finding $270,000 in undeclared cash inside a Toyota trying to exit the United States over the Hidalgo (Texas) International Bridge that leads to Reynosa, Mexico.

...

It is not a crime to carry more than $10,000 in cash, but it’s a federal offense not to declare such currency or monetary instruments, to hide them or evade filling out the paperwork for it, CBP said. Failure to declare may result in seizure of the currency and/or arrest.

"Southwestern border"


It's actually the Southern Border... as a matter of fact, as far as borders are concerned, it would be part of the Eastern border... There is no border further to the east from Texas.

The money was earned in the United States.

And by the liberal mentality, earned in the land stolen from Mexico.

So it's OK. US Tax laws do not apply.

Not me - Nogales is a definite no-go. I prefer Sinaloa.

You’re still not making sense. If there’s any point at all to your posts, I wish you’d get there. Otherwise, have a nice night.
