U.S. Border Patrol Agents at the Eagle Pass port of entry stopped the attempted smuggling of a child and seized $1 million in hard narcotics.

Federal officers made two major drug smuggling busts and stopped the human smuggling of the minor who was traveling with forged documents.
CBP officers working the Eagle Pass, Texas, port of entry from Piedras Negras, Mexico, stopped a 2008 Dodge Nitro that was entering Texas from across the border. The Nitro was being driven by a female U.S. citizen from Houston, information obtained by Breitbart Texas from CBP officials revealed.
The woman travelling with a minor child from Mexico presented a U.S. birth certificate for the child. After further questioning, CBP officers learned that the child was actually a Mexican national with no legal documentation to enter the U.S.
