U.S. Customs and Border Protection Seizes $634,000 in Cocaine at Texas Border Crossing

U.S. Customs and Border Protection Seizes $634,000 in Cocaine at Texas Border Crossing

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the Pharr International Bridge in Texas discovered approximately $634,000 worth of suspected cocaine hidden inside a commercial tractor. The incident occurred on August 7, when the truck arrived from Reynosa, Mexico. Following an initial encounter at the cargo facility, officers directed the vehicle for a secondary inspection. Utilizing non-intrusive inspection equipment, anomalies were detected within the tractor itself, rather than its cargo. A subsequent physical search led to the recovery of 18 packages containing 47.48 pounds (21.54 kilograms) of cocaine. CBP announced the seizure a week later, on Friday. Both the suspected narcotics and the commercial vehicle were seized by CBP's Office of Field Operations, and special agents from Homeland Security Investigations have initiated a criminal investigation into the matter. No individuals connected with the tractor-trailer were identified in the announcement.

U.S. Rep. Chip Roy Celebrates Lifting of Federal Firearm and Silencer Restrictions in Texas

U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Austin, has lauded the recent lifting of federal restrictions on certain short-barrel firearms and silencers in Texas, following a judge's order that took effect. This development stems from a lawsuit initiated by firearms trade groups, gun businesses, and a San Angelo gun owner, later joined by Texas and 14 other Republican-led states. The lawsuit challenged parts of the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934, specifically after the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' signed by President Trump in July 2025 eliminated the $200 tax on transferring or making certain firearms, including short-barrel shotguns, short-barrel rifles, and silencers. U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix ruled on August 5 that the NFA's regulations, originally based on Congress's taxing power, could not continue once the tax was revoked. The Department of Justice (DOJ) is currently assessing the impact of this ruling, which applies to the individuals and groups involved in the lawsuit, their customers or members, and sta...
