U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents found 230 pounds of pork bologna that people were trying to illegally smuggle into the United States last month at border crossings in Texas.
Customs and Border Protection and the U.S. Department of Agriculture work together to prevent pests and diseases from entering the country at ports of entry.
A seizure in El Paso at the Bridge of the Americas border crossing on Feb. 25 yielded 110 pounds of bologna, the news release said. A U.S. citizen in a vehicle “gave a negative agriculture declaration,” but further inspection found rolls of pork bologna hidden in the vehicle. On Feb. 28, 100 pounds of bologna was seized at the Santa Teresa border crossing when an inspection found “anomalies in the vehicle’s cargo area,” the news release said. The driver, a 59-year-old U.S. citizen, had also given a negative agriculture declaration.
