Important Takeaways:

• U.S. Customs and Border Protection said on Wednesday that its officers at the El Paso port of entry confiscated 92,000 rounds of large-caliber ammunition leaving the United States over the weekend.
• The seized ammunition nearly tripled the amount of ammunition agents seized in outward bound inspections at the El Paso field office over the past three fiscal years combined, CBP said.
• Border Patrol said the ammunition was found on a commercial bus leaving the United States for Mexico at the Bridge of America port of entry in El Paso.
• “CBP’s primary mission is to inspect all goods and people entering the U.S. from abroad but the agency will also perform outbound inspections as part of our overall enforcement portfolio,” said Hector Mancha, CBP El Paso director of field operations, in a statement.
• “The magnitude of this seizure is impactful. Had this ammunition fallen into the hands of traditional criminal organizations the impact could have been devastating.”
• One of the 16 passengers on the bus was found to be in the United States illegally and processed as such.
