Weapons and rounds of ammunition were seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers conducting outbound enforcement operations at the Area Port of Douglas, from a U.S. citizen attempting to depart the United States.
According to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, in February, officers at the Raul H. Castro Port of Entry in Douglas referred a 24-year-old, male U.S. citizen driving a Dodge Ram 1500 van for additional inspection as he attempted to enter Mexico through the port.
During the search, CBP officers discovered several packages inside the vehicle containing seven AK-47 rifles and 11,000 rounds of ammunition.
Officers seized the weapons and vehicle. The driver was arrested and turned over to Homeland Security Investigations.
I can’t wait to see how WaPo spins this.

Like the Cuban refugee Tony Montoya, he was dedicated to tilting the balance of power from oppressors to revolutionaries, from the medical-industrial complex to urban distributors and consumers.
