Then on March 29, still at Eagle Pass, they uncovered 237 pounds of methamphetamine stuffed in a trailer floorboard, racking up a street value of more than $2,120,000. The very next day, March 30 at the Far Cargo Facility, CBP hit another jackpot, nearly 298 pounds of meth concealed. Inside a shipment of carrots coming from Renosa, Mexico, worth about $2,000,000.
