[woman] El Paso has a wide area
of responsibility.

30,000 vehicles plus a day.

Pedestrians, anywhere
from 18 to 22,000,

depending on what week.
So, you know, quite busy.

We have radiation
porta monitors out front.

If there's any kind of alert,

that truck will automatically go
to our x-rays

to make sure that there
was no counterfeit items

or potentially dope,
for example.

[man] How many vehicles
get diverted

to the point where you
would x-ray them?

[woman] Probably
about eight to ten percent.

[man] Okay.

Are you seeing an uptick
in, like, heroin and fentanyl,

things like that, through
passenger vehicles and things?

We are seeing that
bumping up a little bit, yes.

It could be in a tire,
it could be in a compartment,

[Minerd] Drug trafficking
is the most lucrative

illegal trade out there.

So right now, they're lining up
for the scan, and I'm gonna...

[Minerd] And in my 26 years
in law enforcement,

I've never seen this kind
of epidemic before.

We're seeing folks
that are struggling

across the border in Mexico

who would love to have
that American dream.

[speaks Spanish]

And they see what the
drug trade has to offer.

Thousands of dollars a day.

And that thirst
to make money takes over.

[man] Let's get
all this stuff out.

[Minerd] I know we're making
tremendous efforts

to limit drug trafficking.

[barking]

But it seems like every time
we patch one hole,

there's a new hole
that opens up.

I guess in a perfect world,

we could stop that demand
here in the United States.

But unfortunately
our suburban areas have become

inviting places
for drug cartels.

So what we see
is drug traffickers

bring large amounts
across the southwest border,

and then pass through
the central Ohio area

en route to places
on the East Coast.

Philadelphia and Baltimore
and New York, Chicago.

So central Ohio is a gateway.

And my role as a chief deputy

is to figure out how we
shut that faucet off.

You know, stop that flow
of drugs coming

into the United States.

As you guys know,
I had an opportunity

to go to El Paso, Texas

to see how the dope game
works down there.

How they get drugs
across the border,

and then how difficult it is
to control the borders.

-Right.
-It was eye-opening.

31, 32,000 vehicles a day that
come into the United States.

But quite frankly,
they can't screen every vehicle.

It's just impossible.

It's like searching for a needle
in a haystack.

So we have a surge
on our hands here.

And I know that resources
are taxed,

with regard to DEA and HSI.

But I just wanna make sure
that we're focusing on heroin,

short-term investigations,
long-term, traffic stops.

Push on those resources
to try to bring some resolution.

-Okay.
-Okay, go do your deal.
