News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

CBP Officers at O’Hare Seize $6.7 Million Worth of Cocaine

Saturday, April 28, 2007

Chicago – On Friday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officers seized over 700 pounds of cocaine at O’Hare Airport from a commercial airliner’s cargo compartment. CBP officers found the contraband onboard an Aeromex flight from Guadalajara, Mexico, which landed at O’Hare Airport at 11 p.m.

During a routine inspection of baggage and cargo onboard Aeromex flight #668, CBP officers found 336 bricks of cocaine weighing about one kilo each. The cocaine bricks were tightly wrapped in cellophane, soaked in axle grease then covered with a rubber sheeting and taped with packing tape. The four small cardboard boxes containing the cocaine bricks were not listed on the cargo manifest.
