Officials in El Paso, Texas recently seized a total of 243 pounds of prohibited pork bologna in two incidents.
The first was a resident of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and a U.S. citizen that had 55 pounds of bologna in his SUV; he told officials he resells it in the U.S. for almost double what he pays for it in Mexico.
The second discovery was another U.S. citizen from Colorado who was caught with 19 rolls of pork bologna weighing 188 pounds. Both people were fined $1,000 and the bologna was seized and destroyed by Customs and Border Patrol officers.
