CBP Seizes Over $7.7 Million Meth at Texas Border Ports

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers made multiple significant methamphetamine seizures at key border crossings between the U.S. and Mexico in June 2025. At the Laredo Port of Entry, officers intercepted 112 pounds of methamphetamine valued at over $1 million hidden in a 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander, resulting in the arrest of a 56-year-old Mexican driver. Similarly, at the Pharr International Bridge cargo facility, CBP officers discovered over 750 pounds of methamphetamine concealed within a shipment of tomatillos, with an estimated street value of approximately $6.7 million, prompting a criminal investigation. In Nogales, Arizona, officers found nearly 92 pounds of methamphetamine hidden inside a vehicle's gas tank and body, with investigations ongoing. These seizures highlight the ongoing challenges and successes in combating drug trafficking through commercial and passenger vehicle routes at the U.S.-Mexico border. Authorities credited their vigilance, advanced inspection technologies, and canine teams for these major interdictions, emphasizing their role in disrupting narcotics smuggling operations.
