(The Center Square) – A rocket launcher and “rocket-propelled grenades” were headed into Mexico before it was thwarted by United States Customs and Border Protection in Nogales, Ariz.
CBP explained that the weapons taken on Dec. 28 would likely be used to support the drug cartels.
“Great interception!” Port Director Michael W. Humphries tweeted on Tuesday.
“CBP officers working outbound operations at the Nogales POE seized a rocket launcher and 2 rocket-propelled grenades hidden in a car headed to Mexico. The cache was likely intended to protect the cartels and their fentanyl production labs in Mexico,” he continued.
The confiscation comes at a time when President-elect Donald Trump is vowing for major policy changes at the border, including dubbing the cartels as terrorist organizations, according to Reuters. The decision to escalate what the cartels are classified as could signal a change in strategy in how the U.S. government faces them, as the groups are already major causes for illicit drug trafficking into the country.
In addition, the Republican is expected to bring back the “Remain in Mexico” policy for migrants crossing illegally and resume the construction of the border wall.
The Port of Nogales is considered a hub for trade and migration in the Tucson sector of Arizona.

Brandon and Cackles need to be tried for crimes against the American people.
Just another version of the Obama. Biden fast and furious arming of Mexican Drugs Lords who get rich off Biden continued insanity policies, now to be renamed from “Fast and Furious” to “A Rocket in every terrorist’s Pocket” !!!!!
If I were Trump, I would target every Biden family property for the Federal building and public housing of illegal aliens and dump the worst of the worst there to live their American dream of free stuff stolen from rich ex-president’s property. Instead of lemonade stands they can have street corner kiddie Cocaine tables for Hunter to get a cheap high off of. Like the illegal FBI’s that invaded Trump’s home, Trump can send illegals invited in by Joe to get even to invade HIS properties. When Joe hears the reassuring sounds of gunfire in the neighborhood, I doubt he will repent or reverse his opinion of being the most successful Presidency since 1919 Spanish flu pandemic depleted, Brain-stroke challenged “Paralyzed” Woodrow Wilson turned over running of the country to HIS wife back in the 1920’s. Another Democrat party deception hid from the minds of THE PEOPLE responsible for electing him, that justified the precedent of the Biden Presidential deception.
I wonder which mililtary base they were stolen from!
