Show Notes
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Brownsville Port of Entry discovered three live, protected parrots being smuggled in a hidden box of a GMC Yukon. The illegal pet trade poses risks of spreading diseases that could harm native animals, crops, and public health. Homeland Security Investigations, along with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, launched a criminal probe and ensured the parrots received care at a nearby zoo. Wildlife trafficking carries heavy federal penalties, and CBP continues to block invasive species, pests, and illnesses from entering the U.S.
