CBP announced Thursday that this was from the quarterly recap for the period Oct. to Dec. 2025.
Including a vehicle that was intercepted on Nov. 6, 2025, at the Calexico West Port of Entry. CBP says an X-ray scan of the vehicle showed anomalies, and officers found 17.28 pounds of fentanyl powder, 90.94 pounds of cocaine and 165.39 pounds of heroin concealed within the spare tire, rear fenders, center console and firewall of a Dodge truck.
