U.S., Canada Border Patrols Seize Over 1,000 Pounds of Narcotics

U.S. Border Patrol agents have recently made significant drug seizures along the California border. In San Clemente, agents intercepted two separate drug smuggling attempts, confiscating nearly 140 pounds of various narcotics, including heroin and fentanyl, with a total value of around $800,000. Similarly, at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry, agents apprehended eight drivers and seized over 240 pounds of cocaine in a series of interceptions, preventing the drugs from entering the U.S. The Drug Enforcement Administration is involved in prosecuting the individuals linked to these smuggling attempts. These operations highlight ongoing efforts by border enforcement agencies to combat drug trafficking and protect communities.
