Co-host and reporter Noi Mahoney recently spent some time with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel in the U.S.-Mexico border in Laredo, Texas. Officially, he was there to report on legal produce imports from Mexico. But he learned some things about the massive shipments of illegal drugs that CBP intercepts from trucks on a regular basis. 

In the latest episode, Mahoney explains what he found about drug smuggling during his Laredo trip, and why the illicit shipments have increased in size and frequency during the pandemic. Despite this, Mahnoey says the traffickers are contending with a backlog of drugs waiting to be smuggled across the border. 

Co-host and producer Nate Tabak joins Mahoney for the episode.
