In a significant operation at the Hidalgo International Bridge, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers seized $387,000 in unreported cash. The discovery was made during a routine inspection of a vehicle traveling into Mexico on Monday.
Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) special agents arrested the driver, a Mexican citizen, in connection with the seizure. An investigation is currently being conducted to uncover further details and potential connections to illegal activities.
This seizure is part of CBP’s ongoing efforts to combat illegal financial transactions and prevent the flow of unreported currency across the border. By enforcing reporting requirements for currency, CBP aims to disrupt criminal enterprises and protect the integrity of the US financial system.
