        That was a terrible “save you a click”. That was from a single bust of $2.5million

        Including a vehicle that was intercepted on Nov. 6, 2025, at the Calexico West Port of Entry. CBP says an X-ray scan of the vehicle showed anomalies, and officers found 17.28 pounds of fentanyl powder, 90.94 pounds of cocaine and 165.39 pounds of heroin concealed within the spare tire, rear fenders, center console and firewall of a Dodge truck.

        The narcotics had an estimated street value of $2,480,714.

You would have to say to them: “I saw a house that cost $20,000.” Then they would exclaim: “Oh, what a pretty house that is!”
