U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized more than $2.8 million worth of narcotics in two separate enforcement actions at the Eagle Pass Port of Entry over the past weekend, according to a federal release issued Thursday.

Port Director Pete Beattie said the seizures underscore the agency’s ongoing enforcement efforts at the border.

“These two significant hard narcotics seizures with a combined street value of more than $2.8 million reflect the continued vigilance and alertness our CBP officers put forth on a daily basis,” Beattie said. “These narcotics will not enter U.S. streets thanks to their dedication to CBP’s border security mission.”

Cocaine discovered in SUV during March 27 inspection

The first seizure occurred March 27, 2026, at the Camino Real International Bridge. Authorities said a 28-year-old U.S. citizen driving a 2005 Chevrolet Suburban was referred for secondary inspection. After a canine alert and nonintrusive imaging scan, officers discovered 25 packages hidden within the vehicle’s floorboard. The packages contained a total of 57.09 pounds of suspected cocaine, with an estimated street value of $762,392, according to CBP.

Methamphetamine found in trailer two days later

A second seizure took place March 29, 2026, at the Eagle Pass International Bridge. A 45-year-old Mexican citizen driving a 2015 Chevrolet Traverse with a trailer was referred for further inspection. Following a canine examination and imaging scan, officers located 107 packages concealed in the trailer’s floorboard. The packages contained 237.21 pounds of suspected methamphetamine, with an estimated street value of $2,120,581, officials said.

Arrests and investigation

CBP seized the narcotics and both vehicles. Homeland Security Investigations agents arrested the drivers and opened criminal investigations related to the cases.

All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in the court of law.
