LAREDO, Texas – On May 18, 2018, members of the Laredo Sector Border Patrol Foreign Operations Branch (FOB), working collaboratively with the Government of Mexico (GoM), prevented a large narcotic seizure from entering the United States.Border Patrol agents assigned to the Foreign Operations Branch worked diligently with GoM to avoid a tractor-trailer attempting to cross a large load through a Laredo Port of Entry.
GoM officials had been monitoring the trailer that was loaded with narcotic bundles when FOB was advised. GoM officials located and confiscated the trailer and narcotics, which was a significant amount.
A total of 423 bundles were seized by Mexican military. The bundles tested positive for marijuana and had a total weight of 10,083.944 pounds, with a street value of $8M.
“This seizure clearly demonstrates the exceptional level of binational cooperation that the Border Patrol has with the Government of Mexico. We fully intend to continue this level of cooperation between both governments to locate and prevent the smuggling of illicit contraband,” said Jason D. Owens, Laredo Sector Chief Patrol Agent.
The Laredo Sector Foreign Operations Branch (FOB) was established in October 2016, for the purpose of streamlining, structuring and building upon the successes of the International Liaison Unit. LRT FOB was built on four pillars consisting of: International Liaison Unit, Consular Affairs Team, Bi-national Enforcement and Bi-national Prosecutions.
