58 pounds of iguana meat seized in Laredo
U.S. Customs and Border Protection agriculture specialists found some rather
exotic tamale makings in a border stop in Laredo on Sunday.

They seized nearly 58 pounds of undeclared iguana meat hidden inside masa
(corn dough).

"This is a substantial amount of iguana meat, well beyond what would be
considered as personal use, it lacked the necessary permits for lawful
importation and further it was found hidden in masa," said Joe Uribe, Acting
CBP Port Director in Laredo.

A CBP specialist at Lincoln-Juarez International Bridge noted anomalies in
two ice chests belonging to a 49-year-old female Mexican citizen passenger
from Altamirano, Guerrero, Mexico.

Inside was the iguana meat, worth about $1,560.

CBP officers processed the bus passenger for return to Mexico and the case
was turned over to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service special agents for further
investigation.
