U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers made a record-breaking seizure of methamphetamine valued at over $48 million on August 1 at the Pharr International Bridge cargo facility in Texas. During an inspection of a tractor-trailer entering from Mexico, officers discovered 3,429.6 pounds of meth hidden within a shipment of lettuce. This represents the largest meth encounter in the history of the Hidalgo Port of Entry, according to CBP officials. Port Director Carlos Rodriguez commended the officers for their vigilance and successful interception. While the identity of the truck driver has not been disclosed, this incident highlights the ongoing challenges of drug trafficking at the U.S.-Mexico border. The increase in meth seizures aligns with a broader trend of rising overdose deaths related to stimulants in the U.S.
