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.

Seizure Activity Heating Up At Remote New Mexico Entry

CBP Officers Discover Marijuana Hidden Inside Jars of Jalapeños

Wednesday, December 12, 2007

Antelope Wells, N.M. — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers working at the remote Antelope Wells port of entry in southwestern New Mexico made an unusual marijuana seizure Monday. CBP officers discovered 11 pounds of marijuana submerged in jars of pickled jalapeños.

The seizure was made shortly after 9 a.m. Monday when a 2005 Chevrolet van towing a trailer entered the port from Mexico. A CBP officer was checking baggage in the trailer when he had discovered several jars of pickled jalapeños in a box. The officer opened a jar and found that it contained a brick of marijuana submerged and surrounded by the peppers. A total of six pepper jars contained similar bricks with a combined weight of 11 pounds. Officers from the Border Operation Task Force arrested the driver of the van, a 38-year-old Mexican male who is a legal permanent resident of Glendale, Arizona.
