The shipment was disguised as tiles, the agency said.<\/p>\n<p>Border patrol officers found the narcotics inside a commercial tractor trailer that crossed the Pharr International Bridge from from Reynosa, Mexico into Texas on April 21. Once it was inspected and screened by a team of drug detection dogs, officers discovered that pallets masquerading as tiles in the back of the cargo vehicle actually contained packages of white powder.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Overall, they seized 200 packages weighing more than 900 pounds, along with the trailer itself, CBP said. Homeland Security Investigation agents have opened a criminal probe into the seizure, according to the agency<\/p>\n<p>CBP said the powder &#8220;tested positive for the properties of methamphetamine,&#8221; a synthetic stimulant that is considered highly addictive. Although there is an FDA-approved version of it that is very rarely prescribed for specific medical conditions, methamphetamine largely exists in the U.S. illegally,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dea.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2020-06\/Methamphetamine-2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according<\/a> to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Association.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/04\/28\/fcf7a23e-28df-4bb1-bee7-95f7e45ef44a\/thumbnail\/620x827\/0970c39e459ca30f03a5343790b658b1\/908lbsmethpharr42126.jpg#\" alt=\"908lbsmethpharr42126.jpg \" height=\"827\" width=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/04\/28\/fcf7a23e-28df-4bb1-bee7-95f7e45ef44a\/thumbnail\/620x827\/0970c39e459ca30f03a5343790b658b1\/908lbsmethpharr42126.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/04\/28\/fcf7a23e-28df-4bb1-bee7-95f7e45ef44a\/thumbnail\/1240x1654\/4011f264a853c7dd5fc43299d37ead01\/908lbsmethpharr42126.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Customs and Border Protection officers seized more than 900 pounds of methamphetamine that arrived in a tractor trailer from Mexico on April 21, 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                U.S. Customs and Border Protection<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;As this significant seizure aptly illustrates, CBP officers work tirelessly to ensure that commerce flows and hard narcotics are stopped in their tracks,&#8221; said Carlos Rodriguez, director of the border complex in Texas&#8217; Rio Grande Valley that includes ports of entry at Hidalgo, Pharr and Anzalduas, in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Officers have intercepted enormous quantities of illegal drugs in Texas border towns in recent years.
