US border officials reveal what contraband was seized at additional BC checkpoints

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is revealing some details about a multi-day border checkpoint operation that caused major northbound delays for travellers heading back into Canada.

Multiple unexpected checkpoints appeared just before the Peace Arch border crossing this past week.

“Every single car, they opened up the hood,” Len Saunders, a U.S. immigration lawyer who has worked in Blaine, WA. for 25 years said.

U.S. border officials said as part of its national security mission, border agents routinely conduct inspections on outbound traffic.

As Global's Taya Fast reports, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection are now sharing what was seized during several days of searches.
