So here at Nogales, we didn't see a lot of fentanyl pills, a lot of methamphetamine also. Every once in a while, we do get heroin and cocaine. But right now, the way that these packages are wrapped, it looks like possible meth.

Okay, so now we're just going to open one of the first packages. Depending on what we see in terms of tests, we're going to be using. And if from the initial, it looks like they're blue pills. So these are possibly fentanyl pills. This is our rapid response test for fentanyl. I'm going to extract the pills from the package and the swab bit with the solution, and then using the test strip, it's going to determine whether it is fentanyl responsible for it or not. It'll give you one line if it's positive; we'll give you two lines if it's negative. It's a red line that's going to come out.

So that red line right there in the first package, we just popped over, and that's positive. So the next test right now will open some packages, make sure that they're the same contents or different. If it's different, tested with a different type of test.

So right now on the opening, we just see that it looks a second to the same, the first package. So we can assume that it's the same kind of narcotic. All the substances look the same. They are all small pills. Even in the packages look different; they have the same aura, narcotic inside conceal inside.

Now we need to weigh them to see how much narcotics we have: 1.86 kilograms. It was a good day whenever you are able to seize any type of narcotic. The further it leaves Nogales, the more pricier it gets. So it's always a good day when we take these narcotics out of the streets here in CBP.

It's a team effort. We used a lot of different tools today. We had our primary officers, we had our canines. We also had different other methods of search, and with the use of all that, we're able to secure some narcotics today.
