“Area CBP agriculture specialists issued 16 civil penalties totaling almost $4,000 linked to the attempted smuggling of prohibited agriculture and food products including raw eggs. Travelers need to be aware that raw egg imports from Mexico are prohibited. Since January area CBP officers have encountered more than 90 people attempting to import raw eggs from Mexico. Importation of raw/fresh eggs into United States is generally prohibited due to concerns about diseases such as Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza HPAI and Virulent Newcastle disease ND. Travelers are prohibited to bring in fresh eggs, raw chicken, unprocessed avian products and/or live birds into the United States. Travelers are encouraged to declare all agriculture products to CBP officers and Agriculture Specialists, failure to declare may lead to potential fines and penalties,” says a CBP bulletin from Friday on the most Trump Era-thing ever. Or the most Trump Era-thing so far this week.
Actually maybe the most Trump Era-thing this week is this moron Fox News anchor trying to downplay it to Dem Senator Ruben Gallego by saying the eggs might be contaminated somehow, only for him to shoot back and point out that Elon Musk fired all the inspectors.
