Border Patrol Hinders Smuggling Attempts in the Rio Grande Valley | U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Monday afternoon, Harlingen agents working near Bluetown, Texas, observed four subjects carrying bundles of marijuana north of the Rio Grande. As agents responded, the subjects entered a cane field in an attempt to hide. Agents, along with a Border K-9 team, entered the cane field and located four illegal aliens. A continued search of the area led to the discovery of the narcotics weighing over 190 pounds, worth an estimated $155K. The Border Patrol turned over the narcotics to the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Tuesday, Fort Brown agents responded to the report of several subjects carrying bundles of narcotics near Brownsville, Texas. As mobile units responded, agents observed a Jeep leave the area at a high rate of speed. After a brief pursuit, agents lost sight of the vehicle and requested assistance from Texas Department of Public Safety troopers. The troopers located the vehicle and advised it had collided with another vehicle at the intersection of Security Drive and Boca Chica Boulevard. After a brief foot pursuit, troopers and agents apprehended the driver and passenger of the Jeep. A search of the vehicle revealed over 360 pounds of marijuana, worth an estimated $291K. This incident remains under investigation by the Texas Department of Public Safety.

All in the last month, not at ports of entry.
When you need to kill 57 Million Americans to make your Socialist Dystopia Happen, you of course would be opposed to Border Security.
Fentanyl seized by Border Patrol in record bust could have killed 57M, officials say
A Mexican national was arrested by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents on Saturday with enough fentanyl to kill 57 million Americans, officials revealed Wednesday on Tucker Carlson Tonight.
The fentanyl seizure was a record amount, officials said in a news release.
This story gives credence to investing money into more technology and more guards with training at the entry ports.
When drugs come into the US in places other than the port of entries, it is a majority of the time, through tunnels, under the walls.
This story does nothing for building a wall. It actually backs up what opponents of the wall have been saying all along.
Thanks, Tree.
According to DHS 2018 seizures of Fentanyl, more than 500 pounds, were seized between the ports of entry. An all of the above approach is required.
.
Yep:
"Fentanyl seizures are rapidly increasing, and most occur at ports of entry."
