Borderforce USA The Bridges

A shipment of cardboard packaging hides a deadly secret. Heroin disguised as a computer laptop baffles the worlds most advanced narcotic detection device. The diligence of agriculture specialists pays off and saves Americas forestry from a potentially devastating insect infestation.

Officers are suspicious when an elderly couple arrive from Mexico with five suitcases but no clothes. On the World Trade Bridge, an X ray of a truck hauling garden furniture reveals something more might be in the load and in Laredo, officers help a woman and her child fleeing cartel violence in Central America.

Officers become suspicious when they pull over a businessman from Mexico who is making a rare journey to the United States in a brand new car. On the Juarez Lincoln International Bridge in Laredo a man is detained after a canine alerts to drugs in a car. But why is he carrying such a small amount? Is it because he is a decoy for a cartel and trying to draw attention away from a bigger shipment of narcotics crossing the bridge at the same time? And an innocent pedestrian gets more than he bargains for when he is mistaken for a wanted man who officers believe is armed and dangerous.

Americas Gatekeepers are stunned when they discover over 2 million of the drug mixed in with gallons of household paint and bottles of beer. On the Gateway to the Americas Bridge in Laredo, Texas, a teenager from the Dominican Republic who has travelled 2,000 miles to the United States border in the back of a truck pleads his case for asylum while a man wanted on a warrant is found to be carrying something suspicious in the panels of his car?

Customs and Border Protection officers think they have spotted a trend when they seize drugs from behind the dashboards of two cars. One load has an ominous symbol that suggests it is the deadly new drug, Fentanyl, that is being concealed. Meanwhile in Laredo a Mexican woman and her children ask officers for protection from her eldest son a recent recruit to the notorious Los Zetas cartel who is threatening to kill his entire family.
