– Federal agents working at ports of entry in northern U.S. cities and in small towns along the U.S.-Canadian border are continuing to thwart illegal activity.
As CBP agents inspected international mail, a K-9 sniffed out the synthetic opioid, uncovering a package containing multiple plastic bags of pills.With two milligrams considered a lethal dose, they seized enough fentanyl to kill more than 1.3 million people. The agents continued searching the area and with the help of their canine, Odin, found backpacks left behind containing a significant amount of firearms.“Bulk firearms seizures are an uncommon occurrence for the Grand Forks Sector, but this serves as a humbling reminder of how critically important our mission is,” Grand Forks Sector Chief Patrol Agent Scott Garrett said.
Lack of operational control at the northern border presents a national security threat, experts have told The Center Square. CBP agents, working with Food & Drug Administration officials, determined the products were adulterated and being imported by an unauthorized agent.
