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.

Laredo, Texas – Border Patrol agents assigned to the Laredo North station seized a large load of marijuana Tuesday.

Agents working at the checkpoint on Interstate Highway 35 conducted an immigration inspection of the driver of an 18-wheeler that drove up to the facility. A Border Patrol canine alerted agents to the trailer, indicating the possible presence of hidden narcotics or people.

Agents inspected the trailer and discovered a false compartment built into the front portion of the trailer. After opening the compartment, 127 cellophane-wrapped bundles were discovered.

The bundles contained marijuana with a total weight of 1,526.8 pounds and an estimated street value of $1,221,400.
