Federal agents this week announced the seizure of a whopping $600,000 in cocaine at the Texas-Mexico border, a haul that officials said was being transported in a surreptitious juice truck.
The bust occurred last week on July 7 at the World Trade Bridge in Laredo, Tex., when “a CBP officer referred a 1997 Freightliner trailer hauling a shipment of ‘juice’ for a secondary inspection,” U.S. Customs and Border protection said in a press release .
“The truck was referred for a canine and non-intrusive inspection system examination, resulting in the discovery of 38 packages containing 87 pounds of alleged cocaine within the tires of the trailer,” the agency continued.
The seized drugs “had an estimated street value of $671,160,” the press release said.
“Our CBP officers’ knowledge of concealment methods and technology played a key role in the discovery of these illicit narcotics,” Port Director Alberto Flores said in the release.. “We remain committed to ensuring our cargo system remains secure while facilitating lawful commerce.”
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
