Federal law enforcement agents stationed at the U.S.-Mexico border in Nogales, Ariz., made the largest-ever seizure of fentanyl Saturday after stopping a truck that was purportedly trying to bring cucumbers into the country, according to Customs and Border Protection officials.
CBP officials said Homeland Security employees stationed at the border crossing found 254 pounds of fentanyl in a single bust. Nogales area Port Director Michael Humphries said the seizure would likely save U.S. lives.
