00:12And away we go.
00:16We're on our way to one of our off-site express consignment
00:20facility. We're going to be conducting inspections
00:23on multiple shipments that was flagged by one of our units
00:27and hopefully we can get some good stuff.
00:30All right, boys, let's go do this.
00:32The shipments earmarked for inspection are from a European sender.
00:38Hello, guys. We are back.
00:42Whose details bear the hallmarks of a smuggling operation.
00:46This shipment might be good. We're going to be passing it through the x-ray.
00:53Okay. I like that image right there.
00:57That might possibly be something.
01:00So now we're going to do a more thorough inspection.
01:03The way people package things nowadays, anything can be disguised as anything.
01:16This looks like a friendly kid's package. A simple cartoon.
01:19But when we open it, we usually find pills.
01:30Anything in the bag is going to stick me, poke me, cut me, hurt me by any chance.
01:34We're up against a clock.
01:35We're looking for anybody that's not declaring, and there's going to be a lot.
01:46We're looking for everybody.
01:54This and how manyцы do we might want to see if they go here in bed for a few days.
01:57We're looking for all sizes.
01:57How many here are the главными, like-
01:58These things will really help us out.
01:58I know so many faces, but I want to check them out.
01:58And for sure, things are changing.
01:58Let's keep all these things are human rights.
01:59They have the same capabilities as usual.
02:00Yes, they haven't turned into things out.
02:11where are your bags this is it this is it yeah i travel light all right have a good day
02:16thank you
02:17today in san francisco
02:27a traveler is being inspected after an x-ray revealed some unusual looking objects in his
02:33luggage i'm just looking for pretty much contraband we are just going to do a quick
02:38baggage inspection just to see what he's bringing in having just landed from china he claims to have
02:45forgotten the combination for the lock on his suitcase so i'm going to need to cut it open
02:53which isn't a problem for officer gluzov
02:58you claim full responsibility of all the items that are in your bags
03:01yes inside the suitcase what's in this box staplers or staples
03:08is an unusually large quantity of office supplies
03:13why do you need staples what kind of staples are they like like regular staple why don't you just go
03:22to
03:22staples and buy some staples it's cheaper over there officer gluzov counts 30 staplers
03:30and over 40 000 staples how many staples do you need
03:38how many people do you work with
03:42how many is a lot of people
03:45wow so many staplers
03:50do you usually get inspected no never seen so many staples what is this
03:57it gives to me okay it's called tea
04:02is it mushrooms what is this
04:13the traveler claims the mushrooms are for making a traditional infusion
04:19i just gotta test it out but officer gluzov needs to make sure they aren't the magic kind
04:26i'm just gonna test out the mushrooms psilocybin mushrooms contain hallucinogenic compounds making
04:34them a schedule one controlled substance
04:37i understand everyone gets inspected man
04:41you know very small sample
04:44bringing them into the country is a federal crime
04:48which can result in a heavy fine and even jail time
05:10okay i like that image right there that might possibly be something
05:16at newark's cargo facility
05:18it looks like a friendly kids package
05:21it's a simple cartoon but when we open it
05:23pills
05:26officers have intercepted an airmail package from europe
05:30one of a large shipment flagged for inspection
05:34after they vacuum seal it
05:35they'll wash it with a solvent to get the smell away from the package
05:41so that the drug sniffing dogs can't detect it
05:46all right so let me go ahead
05:51perfect i'm going to try this
05:53all right let's go ahead and test
05:56for quick identification
05:59officer olivo uses a laser device
06:01which searches over 1200 substances in mere seconds
06:06okay we're going to get ready to conduct a scan
06:09from cutting agents to narcotics
06:14there it is mdma
06:18mdma or ecstasy is a synthetic party drug
06:22which is illegal in the u.s. and united kingdom
06:26good job officer olivo it's a hallucinogenic you wake up the next morning not knowing what you did
06:33a single pill has a street value of around eighty dollars
06:37meaning this pack is likely to be worth nearly twenty five thousand dollars
06:42this is definitely a good fine we get these off the streets
06:47criminal gangs in europe are increasingly manufacturing synthetic drugs to trade directly with mexican cartels in exchange for cocaine
06:56much of their product is trafficked using america's mail system
07:02okay we're good all right we got a few more to go
07:06with a further 45 packages in the shipment
07:10get that envelope maybe something
07:14the officers aren't done yet
07:18you can see here there's an envelope and within the envelope you see two distinct packages in there
07:23so once again this is a top view is a side view
07:26so this may be uh probable of something
07:30my spider sense is tingling
07:32this is packaging very similar to what we just found with the ecstasy pills
07:38bingo
07:39once again
07:41our cartoon feline friend
07:43packaging on the outside with no name brands on the top
07:50okay
07:51this looks like a package of ketamine
07:53and this possibly could be pink cocaine
07:55so we're gonna see
08:00i'm confident that this is going to come out positive for something
08:02we shall see
08:10there you go
08:12ketamine
08:14ketamine is a fast-acting anesthetic
08:18its growing popularity as a recreational drug
08:22has fueled a rapid increase in use in the u.s
08:26this will come back as ketamine as well
08:30there you go
08:32ketamine
08:33good five
08:34it's a it's a party drug
08:36it's a huge party drug that they use constantly
08:37having also tested positive for ketamine
08:41officers want to establish
08:43why only the second batch is pink
08:45we're going to take a reading of it
08:47with the gemini
08:49which is a little bit more accurate
08:50this test requires a device
08:53with a larger library of chemicals
08:58the pink powder here came back as ketamine mixed with mdma
09:03a potentially lethal cocktail
09:05both substances have been linked to fatal strokes and heart attacks
09:14we're just we're killing it today
09:16yeah so basically it looks it's one of those days sometimes we get nothing sometimes we may get maybe one
09:23maybe two but today it looks like we're getting a slew of illicit contraband coming through the port today so
09:29it's a good day
09:30this i don't know what this one is i don't know what this one is we're gonna have to test
09:33this
09:34but here we go with more party pills
09:36problem is a lot of people take too much of this stuff they wind up od'ing and they're trying
09:40to celebrate something a celebration turns into a tragedy
09:45we might have more
09:46another suspect right here
09:48another suspect another suspect
09:50another suspect we're gonna pull all three
09:54it's a frenzy all today
09:57the x-ray directs them towards a further
10:00twenty thousand dollars worth of party drugs
10:04positive
10:04for mdma
10:07these smugglers will try anything
10:09and everything to get the little packages through
10:12three hours in
10:14have another one
10:17the search takes a turn
10:20this is something else
10:26possibly this could be testosterone
10:29this package appears to be from a different center
10:32this time in turkey
10:36we're gonna have our officer test this to see what it really is
11:02in san francisco secondary a man referred for a suitcase search
11:08it's gonna test out the mushrooms
11:12he's attempting to bring mushrooms into the country from china
11:17you just need a very small sample
11:21he claims they're for making tea
11:25i don't know what it is so
11:27but if they contain hallucinogenic psilocybin
11:30the test will turn purple
11:32and the traveler will be in hot water
11:40and the traveler will be in hot water
11:58i can't tell you why you were inspected
12:01i never got
12:01but keep in mind that if you're coming in to the u.s. you're subject to inspection
12:08every passenger it doesn't matter if you're a green card holder
12:10or a u.s. citizen
12:11like yourself
12:13or visa
12:15all right
12:16you're all set sir
12:17thank you man
12:18thank you
12:20chinese culture
12:21chinese culture
12:21has a long tradition of making tea from medicinal mushrooms
12:26fungi such as reishi and cordyceps are prized for their earthy flavors
12:32and health-giving properties
12:34china is known for a lot of teas
12:36i did a test
12:38no mismatch all regular
12:40the guy was a little bit annoyed being inspected that is kind of a normal thing between u.s. citizens
12:47people don't like to be pulled out or be extra inspected and they get fishy when we
12:54they ask us why are they being inspected but we can only tell them that they're subject to inspection
13:00you too
13:01have a good one bye
13:32did you guys purchase or acquire anything on this trip that you're bringing back with the other day any like
13:36handbags jewelry anything like that
13:40by law
13:41all commercial purchases made abroad must be declared and the required import duty paid
13:47all righty use your guys's passports back you guys are all set
13:52at cbp checkpoints and baggage claim
13:56officers are spot-checking passengers just off a flight from rome italy
14:01something i'm never going to use
14:02i don't think so
14:05officer reinault
14:06has stopped the owner of a bridal dress store
14:09who's returning from a buying trip
14:12one hundred percent french cotton lace
14:14handcrafted in italy
14:15do you have them as silver for these ma'am
14:18no i don't
14:19at an earlier checkpoint
14:21she failed to declare five wedding dresses to officers
14:25this is not what we sell
14:28it explains it's because they're samples
14:31gifted to her by an italian supplier
14:34are they labeled as samples
14:36no
14:37it all needs to be declared as custom
14:40yeah
14:40but even if i didn't pay for it
14:44it's for your business regardless of whether you're selling it or using it as a sample
14:48and how you do that
14:49you let the officer up front know or you let me know when i stop you but she didn't let
14:53me know
14:55listen i'm in business since 96
14:58okay we sell dresses after 30
15:00thousand dollars
15:01okay
15:01because we do everything custom made by cost of investment
15:05i get it
15:06i get it
15:06yeah
15:07so it's a totally different scenario
15:09so for a customs purposes you have to declare it as a commercial sample
15:12i declare everything i'm a very honest person
15:16pressed to put a value on them
15:18she estimates each dress to be worth just fifty dollars
15:22she's just going to kind of modify and play with them a little bit
15:25but for our purposes it is being brought in as commercial goods
15:28she did not declare the dresses to me
15:31she placed the value of these dresses at 250 dollars in total
15:35these are handmade italian dresses wedding dresses
15:39they would not be worth fifty dollars
15:41i imagine they would be far more than that in italy and they are certainly worth more here
15:47since the samples have no retail value for her
15:49the woman says she has made an honest mistake
15:53which could end up costing her dearly
15:57listen to me i'm explaining this to you
15:58from a customs standpoint everything has value
16:00and when you bring in commercial items
16:03if you don't declare them this subject to seizure
16:20a combination of ketamine with mdma
16:22in newark
16:25officers have intercepted three packages of party drugs from europe
16:29we're just we're killing it today
16:32so far they estimate the seizure to be worth roughly forty five thousand dollars on the black market
16:40but the search takes a new direction
16:43as officers intercept another shipment
16:46this time from turkey
16:48this is something else
16:52possibly this could be testosterone
16:54non-regulated
16:55we're going to have our officer test this to see what it really is
17:02what we have here
17:04this is the anabol
17:05a steroid
17:06used for muscle growth
17:09so schedule three drug
17:12dianabol
17:13is a prescription only
17:14anabolic steroid
17:15widely used for enhancing muscle physique
17:18and athletic performance
17:21we're going to crack the pill
17:22just because usually hills
17:24they come with a little film
17:28and the film will prevent us from getting the correct reading
17:32shining a red beam which is your laser
17:35add the material
17:39okay no match found
17:41so we got no match on the dianabol
17:43that will call for further testing
17:45the inconclusive reading suggests the pills don't contain what they claim
17:51the fake pharmaceutical industry is one of the most profitable on the black market
17:56estimated to be worth up to an annual 200 billion dollars
18:02due to its lax counterfeit laws
18:04Turkey is a major source country
18:07a lot of this stuff's not regulated
18:10all the young men that want to get super muscular
18:12they have really no idea what they're really ingesting
18:17after four hours and 50 packages searched
18:20hundreds of pills and controlled medication are seized
18:24all worth close to fifty thousand dollars
18:28maybe a small amount but at the end of the day we've saved a few lives
18:33what is the 18
18:37the seizure will be passed to homeland security investigations as evidence
18:41who will work with european law enforcement to track down the labs behind the shipment
18:49for officer olive oil today marks yet another high point in a long-running dedicated career
18:57well i don't want to say that i'm a legend but i try my very best to identify whatever comes
19:02across my table
19:03right now i'm getting ready to retire
19:05but uh every day that i am here i'm gonna do my best to try to stop as much contraband
19:11as i can
19:12because i love my country
19:14and uh you know i just want to make sure that these drugs don't get into uh the hands of
19:19children
19:40but this is not the full resale it's commercial you did not declare it
19:45in secondary a bridal store owner has failed to declare five sample dresses
19:51gifted to her by an italian supplier
19:54i'm a very honest person so this is not for resale
19:59but it is commercial no it's not since she has no plans to sell them
20:07she believes they have no commercial value
20:10i'm a customs officer i've been doing this for a lot of years
20:12okay and i will tell you 100 it is commercial
20:15from a customs perspective it is commercial it's more business okay
20:20i respect you but to me commercial means that i have a client that i can put this dress on
20:27look at this dress is this big it does not treat anybody
20:32i'm not gonna try it on man i'm just saying i don't know i don't know
20:35for customs purposes you have to declare it you have to declare it with the proper value okay
20:41when asked she estimated the dresses to be worth around fifty dollars each
20:47officer renault disagrees
20:50if customs disputes the value which in this case i do
20:53i mean two hundred fifty dollars is way too low for what's here
20:55i don't mean these are handmade dresses in italy i know they're not resellable
20:58i know you're not planning on selling them
21:00but clearly they're worth more than two hundred and fifty dollars
21:03and they're commercial okay they are considered commercial for customs purposes
21:07because you are bringing them in for business use
21:10even though the woman has made a genuine mistake
21:13on this occasion officer renault won't be saying i do
21:18how are we gonna do this
21:20it's got to get looked at by our import specialist
21:21they'll determine what the actual value of these items are
21:24and then they'll assess any tariffs
21:26any duties that are owed okay
21:28you will owe duties on these items
21:31all five dresses are seized
21:41so we're gonna put it in into a bonded warehouse with the airline
21:45and our customs import specialist can take a look at it
21:48and they'll determine what the value is for these items
21:50and then they'll assess any tariffs any duties that are owed on those items
21:54and they should be able to get them back
21:56do you have any questions at all ma'am?
21:57no
21:58okay
21:58all right thank you very much
22:00sure sure we can do that
22:02thank you
22:02all right
22:02thank you so much
22:03and this gentleman's gonna get you onto
22:05okay
22:06onto your final destination
22:07yeah
22:07all right have a good day
22:10ciao
22:11ciao
22:3128% of all illicit drugs seized in the U.S. are at airports
22:37what you got here
22:38uh climbing harness
22:41okay
22:41you rock will climb?
22:43yeah
22:43all right
22:44do you have any chalk in here?
22:45yeah
22:45all right
22:46this doesn't look like the same consistency as like cocaine
22:49but with that being said
22:51it gets broken up with so many things
22:53in order to catch smugglers
22:55customs and border protection regularly carries out specialized operations
22:59known as 100% checks
23:06I know I know I missed you too
23:10at JFK
23:12officers Sanjerjo and canine Magnus are heading out to runway 22 left
23:18where a flight from the Dominican Republic has just touched down
23:23the Dominican Republic happens to be a hub for narcotics to transfer through
23:29we try to hit those flights hoping that we come up on something
23:33a 100% check is when a plane its passengers and even its crew are inspected without prior warning
23:42once they put the chalk on we'll get out
23:46we like to watch the airline workers and see you know make sure that they're not hiding a bag
23:53or concealing a bag
23:54we want to make sure that all bases are covered
23:57onboard the now empty A320
24:00the search begins
24:02oh boy
24:06we normally like to look in like little compartments like this
24:09because sometimes you never know but it's happened before
24:29Magnus is trained to detect the scent of weapons cash and narcotics even if they're no longer on board
24:39good job
24:41his nose is so good that I could skip a couple rows
24:44and even if there's something in the seat
24:47he will alert and he'll take me there
24:49we have the AC on right now so
24:52if there was anything the wind could possibly move the odor
24:56I have to trust my dog and follow him
25:00good job
25:03we're gonna go inside the belly
25:05so that's gonna be the next part
25:09below the passenger deck
25:11aircraft search technician officer Cambry
25:14enters the cargo hold
25:17okay
25:19within this area they actually hide a lot of countrymen narcotics and weapons
25:25we're gonna scan some of the panels to see what's within the void
25:29there's a lot of void in this aircraft here in this area
25:32and if I do see anomaly then I'll open it up and then from there we'll do further inspection
25:37previous searches of aircraft cargo holds have revealed narcotics stashed by ground crews being bribed by the cartels
25:45this is this area that I just scanned
25:48that's where you get the panel separation and the screws goes
25:59I see a small anomaly here I'm gonna open the area just to inspect it
26:05because it does look like a little unusual to see that
26:07so I'm gonna check it out and see what what's in there
26:13the hatch stores gases used to inflate emergency evacuation systems
26:18in an area only accessible to flight crews
26:23okay
26:24it's part of the insulation back here
26:26this is what the insulation looks like
26:29sometime you have a piece that's actually full with the x-ray
26:32you will see it as a heavier mass
26:33so that's what I saw the piece of insulation actually just stuck over here
26:37so I can see that
26:38so it's negative
26:40for any narcotics
26:42so far the hold appears clean
26:45good boy
26:46good job Magnus
26:50but up on the passenger deck
26:54up
26:56hey
26:58Magnus
26:59Magnus
27:05Magnus picks up a scent
27:18alert
27:19the learning over here
27:21on the corner here
27:25like he took a big inhale
27:30he's going crazy
27:31I'm gonna call one of you guys
27:32there might be something there
27:57the learning over here
27:59At JFK Airport, a team is performing a 100% check of an A320
28:05from the Dominican Republic,
28:08a known transit point for smuggled contraband.
28:11He's going crazy.
28:12I'm going to call one of you guys.
28:13There might be something there.
28:16Canine Madness has picked up a suspicious scent on the passenger deck.
28:21Hey, sorry to bother you.
28:22I was on one of the flights,
28:24and I wanted one of you guys to check something out for me.
28:29There could possibly be something there.
28:31This aircraft might have been used for transporting of narcotics.
28:37It could possibly be the AC is on,
28:40so odor kind of travels.
28:43And sometimes the dog can pick up on the odor,
28:46but because of the circulation,
28:49he can't really pinpoint where it is.
28:52So it's up to us to kind of step in and use our tools.
28:59Aircraft search mechanics arrive to investigate.
29:07There's something there that, like, an odor that he's trained to detect.
29:12He would kind of give off this behavior,
29:15so that's why I'm a little bit optimistic that something might be there.
29:24In the belly of the plane...
29:26All right.
29:28Aircraft search technician Officer Cambry
29:31conducts a corresponding search,
29:34trying to access the area of suspicion from below.
29:38I see you, man. I'm down here.
29:41I have my partners upstairs.
29:53Yeah, it looks pretty good here.
29:55Working good.
29:58So in that area here, we actually communicate,
30:01make sure there's nothing upstairs,
30:02and I'll make sure I tell them there's nothing down here also.
30:06So far, it looks pretty good. Nothing here.
30:08So there's no step outside,
30:10and then we'll close up.
30:18After a two-hour search...
30:26Officers declare the plane free of contraband.
30:31It's a cat and mice game,
30:33so it's just one of those things that we have to do here
30:36and, you know, just try to get the drugs off the street,
30:39and this is part of our mission,
30:42and as aircraft search mechanics,
30:45this is what we do here for CBP.
30:49Officers have a theory
30:50that Magnus was picking up on the residual odor of narcotics
30:53from a previous leg.
30:55This is why Magnus could have picked it up.
30:58For today, Magnus' work is done.
31:02The Customs and Border Protection will continue
31:05its 100% checks
31:06and remain vigilant.
31:08It was a productive day for us.
31:11Magnus loves his job.
31:13I love my job.
31:14And we're
31:16every day motivated
31:18to find more and more drugs.
31:21I will do it over and over again
31:23if I can.
31:24You hear that, Magnus?
31:26Yeah.
31:30I'll talk to you later.
31:32I'll tell you.
31:44I don't know.
32:03Across United States airports, officers carry out checks on a million travelers every day.
32:09One, two, three, cheese. No cheese?
32:14Always on alert for people violating the terms of their entry visas.
32:21You're married to the girl you came with today, right?
32:24She's my wife.
32:25Yeah, yeah, she's here around.
32:26Yeah, correct.
32:27In Honolulu, a couple traveling from China on B-2 tourist visas have been referred for questioning.
32:37On their frequent visits to the U.S., the wife returns home after a short visit, while the husband stays
32:45behind.
32:47Officer Nix wants to find out what's behind the unusual travel pattern.
32:53Just going to have you take a seat right here for me.
32:56Okay.
32:58Okay.
32:59The pair is questioned separately.
33:04Okay.
33:11How long did you and your wife stay?
33:18Just two months?
33:21Two, three months.
33:22That's a pretty big difference.
33:26Why did your wife leave after two weeks?
33:29Because my wife go back to China, take care of the baby, and then I keep to travel, and I
33:36meet my husband and the friend.
33:39So what did you do?
33:40I go to the bar.
33:42Okay.
33:43I get a drink.
33:45Similar to their last trip to the U.S., the wife is yet again booked on a return flight.
33:51But her husband says he has plans to stay longer.
33:54Okay.
33:54How come you didn't buy a ticket to go back home yet?
33:58Not yet.
33:59I want to book tomorrow.
34:01And where are you going to stay?
34:03In a hotel, and then rent a car to get a road trip.
34:07You said you're going to rent a car.
34:09Do you already have a reservation for a car rental?
34:12Not yet.
34:13I want to rent today and return today.
34:17You're going to book a new car every day?
34:19Yeah, yeah.
34:20Why not just book one for six days?
34:23Because the hotel parking is about $60 one day.
34:30If I rent one day, there is no fee for parking.
34:35Okay.
34:35After two weeks, do you have any plan of staying longer?
34:40I want to go to California.
34:44Wait just one moment.
34:45I'll be right back.
34:47The man's travel plans are unusually light on detail.
34:52There's a lot of disturbances with the fact that he doesn't have a lot of reservations,
34:56any real details for his travel, or even lodging or flights to follow along with his plan.
35:02There's also the fact that he admitted that he initially did not tell us his full plans,
35:06which do include travel to the mainland United States after his time in Hawaii.
35:12A search of his suitcase yields a surprising discovery.
35:16It's weird.
35:17He's got nine different bank accounts.
35:20Multiple credit and debit cards with U.S. banks.
35:24We are going to bring the information we have for this individual,
35:28the evidence we had suggesting his various bank accounts.
35:30We're going to investigate further to determine what his intent in the United States is
35:35and what his past activities were.
35:39When we looked at your luggage today, you have like 15 to 20 different bank cards.
35:45Why do you have almost 20 bank cards, debit cards?
35:50Because listen, once we find something that you didn't tell us about,
35:54and if it's something that might cause us for concern,
35:58you're not going to get an opportunity to change your story at that point.
36:21In Honolulu, a married couple from China is being questioned
36:26after red flags were raised by their travel plans.
36:30When we looked at your luggage today, you have like 15 to 20 different bank cards.
36:36Why do you have like almost 20 bank cards, debit cards?
36:42Here on tourist visas, the husband claims they came for vacation.
36:47But the discovery of his multiple U.S. bank accounts suggests otherwise.
36:52Before then I come to America, I want to do the business in China.
37:00They need to have the bank account in the U.S.
37:05Usually an account gives you one, maybe two cards.
37:08You have almost 20.
37:10Yes.
37:11So how many different accounts?
37:12Oh, about nine.
37:16Nine?
37:17About nine.
37:19Why nine different bank accounts in the United States?
37:23Because sometimes my friend needs to transfer the U.S. dollar to the Chinese yuan.
37:32Who are you transferring money for?
37:34For my friend.
37:35So he lives in the U.S.?
37:36No, in China.
37:37In China.
37:39How much money have you helped transfer a total?
37:42$40,000.
37:42$40,000 U.S. dollars?
37:44Yeah.
37:45I'm trying to understand that.
37:46Why was someone in the U.S.?
37:48Uh-huh.
37:48Why is she giving you $40,000 to transfer back to China?
37:53Who is this person to you?
37:55He's my friend.
37:56So you're just helping move money from here back to China?
37:59Uh, yes.
38:01Just transfer to money.
38:02Okay.
38:03Because right now, I don't think you're being fully honest.
38:06Mm-hmm.
38:08So right now with the questioning, he's already fairly nervous.
38:11His answers are extremely varied, which leads us to believe he's trying to lie about the real
38:16reason why he's transferring money for people.
38:18It does have potential links to things such as money laundering or fraud.
38:23Do you understand the possible penalties for lying to federal officers in the United States?
38:28Mm-hmm.
38:28I know that.
38:29What's the penalty?
38:30Maybe you can come out?
38:33That's one thing, yes.
38:35Yeah.
38:35You could also go to jail for five years in a U.S. prison.
38:38Okay.
38:39I'm going to have you wait back in the same room until we're ready to talk to you later.
38:44Okay?
38:47While the interview is paused, another teen continues to question the man's wife.
38:54She makes a startling admission about their previous trip to the country.
39:00His wife stated that he worked in some capacity on his last entry to the United States.
39:06According to her, he did receive money for some things that he did in the United States.
39:10There are things suggesting, too, that he had an intent to also come back again on this entry, potentially to
39:16do the same thing.
39:19A clear violation of his B-2 tourist visa means only one thing.
39:26You'll be expeditiously removed on the first available flight when you were barred from re-entering the United States for
39:33a period of five years from the date of removal.
39:36Do you understand?
39:37From now?
39:38Yeah.
39:38So, do you understand?
39:41Yeah.
39:47Good.
39:47Give it a couple seconds.
39:50All right.
39:51Good.
39:51Next.
39:51Because of the evidence, his lack of reservations, his lack of ability to truly describe what he did on the
39:57last trip, he was refused entry to the United States today.
40:00He is going to be banned for five years.
40:04As for the suspicions of money laundering, Officer Nix will turn over his findings.
40:09There are further concerns we have as well, but those we're going to address with probably another agency to process,
40:17but possible further actions against him in the future.
40:21The couple will be put on the first flight, departing for China.
40:25Whenever we are able to refuse entry to people who are coming for derogatory reasons, whether that's, again, terrorism or
40:34fraud or illegal activities, criminal activities, it always gives me a great feeling to go home and knowing that I
40:40actually helped protect our country and at the end of the day fulfilled my job, my duty to protect our
40:47country.
