ROMA, TX — U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers confiscated methamphetamine valued at over $20 million at the Roma Port of Entry in Roma, Texas. The significant seizure took place on March 5, 2025, at the Roma International Bridge cargo facility, with details released to the public on Monday, March 10, 2025.
Tractor Trailer Conceals Narcotics
The operation began when CBP officers encountered a tractor trailer hauling bottled mineral water.
Selected for a routine inspection, the vehicle underwent a thorough examination involving advanced non-intrusive equipment and screening by a trained CBP canine team. A physical inspection followed, revealing the illicit cargo hidden within the shipment.
Massive Methamphetamine Haul Uncovered
Inside the trailer, officers found 1,632 bottles containing alleged liquid methamphetamine. The total weight of the seized narcotics amounted to 2,268.51 pounds, with an estimated street value of $20,279,137.
Port Director Andres Guerra, overseeing the Roma Port of Entry, emphasized the diligence of the CBP team in intercepting the shipment.
CBP and HSI Take Action
Following the seizure, CBP’s Office of Field Operations (OFO) took possession of both the narcotics and the tractor trailer.
The case has since been handed over to Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agents, who have launched a criminal investigation to further examine the incident.
The bust marks a substantial effort by CBP to combat drug trafficking at the U.S.-Mexico border, with ongoing investigations expected to shed light on the origins and intended destination of the methamphetamine.
The seizure of over $20 million in methamphetamine at Roma Port of Entry spares countless individuals and families from the devastating toll of drug trafficking, preserving lives that might otherwise have been shattered. The Roma, Texas, community stands resilient, with CBP officers and HSI agents working tirelessly to protect its residents from the reach of illegal narcotics. Looking forward, this bust fuels optimism that dedicated efforts can prevail, offering a brighter, safer future for all. — Jack and Kitty Norton, Founders and Editors
