CBP officers find cocaine strapped to female border crosser
EL PASO, Texas - U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers working at the El Paso port of entry made a five pound cocaine seizure Thursday morning. The seizure was one of 18 drug busts CBP officers made this week including 16 marijuana seizures resulting in the confiscation of 751 pounds and two cocaine loads weighing a total of 10 pounds.
The Thursday cocaine seizure was made in the pedestrian inspection area of the Bridge of the Americas just before 10 a.m. A CBP officer at the primary inspection booth noticed an unusual bulge in the midsection of a female border crosser. The woman was selected for a secondary exam during which CBP officers located two cocaine-filled bundles held against her waist by medical gauze. The contents of the bundles tested positive for cocaine.
CBP officers arrested 48-year-old Bertha Martinez Ruiz of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. She was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents after the case was accepted for federal prosecution. Martinez was booked into the El Paso County Jail and is currently being held without bond.
In addition to the drug busts, CBP officers working at ports of entry in El Paso, West Texas and New Mexico made a total of 25 seizures of agricultural items during the previous seven days. Violators paid $6,225 in penalties in association with the violations. Prohibited food products seized during the last week included pork, chorizo, bologna, raw chicken, fresh eggs, mangos, apples, quince, guavas, figs, apples, oranges, pomegranates, sugar cane, and live plants.
CBP officers recorded 165 immigration violations at area ports this week including 66 imposters because of thorough document exams. Imposters generally will use a legitimate entry document assigned to another person and present it as their own. Violators generally lose their documents, can be prosecuted and go to jail and/or are returned to Mexico.
CBP officers seized documents from 53 intended immigrants. In these cases, individuals will use a legally issued border-crossing card (laser visa) to live or work in the U.S., which is not authorized. They also lose their documents and are generally returned to Mexico. CBP officers also identified 46 people who made false claims to U.S. citizenship, attempted to enter with counterfeit or altered documents, those who entered without inspection, and visa overstay violations.
CBP officers working at area ports made a total of 23 fugitive apprehensions during the previous seven days. While anti-terrorism is the primary mission of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the inspection process at the ports of entry associated with this mission results in impressive numbers of enforcement actions in all categories.

CBP officers discover cocaine hidden inside a vehicle’s engine block
El Paso, Texas — U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers working at the Ysleta International crossing at the El Paso Port of Entry made an unusual cocaine seizure Friday morning. CBP officers discovered 5.06 pounds of the drug hidden inside the engine block of a vehicle.
At about 05:53 a.m. CBP officers made the seizure when a 1982 Chevrolet C-10 pick-up arrived at the primary inspection booth from Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. The driver told the CBP officer that he had nothing to declare. The vehicle was taken to a separate inspection area where an extensive inspection of the vehicle was conducted. CBP officers discovered four cocaine-filled packages concealed in the engine block.
“We are proud of our front line officers who work tirelessly in apprehending all types of criminals. While criminals come up with creative ways to smuggle illicit goods, our officers are always quick to find them,” said Isabel Mullens, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Acting Port Director in El Paso. “We have intercepted drugs in televisions, roofing paper rolls and now in the engine block of a vehicle.”
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents arrested 28-year-old Juan Rodriguez Cervantes of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico in connection with the failed smuggling attempt.
While anti-terrorism is the primary mission of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the inspection process at the ports of entry associated with this mission results in impressive numbers of enforcement actions in all categories.
