100K Counterfeit N95 masks seized, bound for East Coast Hospital


More than 100,000 counterfeit 3M N95 masks worth about $600,000 were seized at a warehouse in El Paso, Texas, federal authorities said.

The counterfeit PPE was en route to a hospital on the East Coast, according to a statement released Wednesday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Officers intercepted the shipment at Ysleta Cargo Facility on Dec. 3.

ICE and CBP, which fall under the Department of Homeland Security, in April launched "Operation Stolen Promise" with the aim of stopping counterfeit COVID-19 products from entering the U.S. According to ICE, the operation has yielded more than 187 arrests and $28 million dollars in recovered assets.

Ysleta Port Director Arnoldo Gomez added: "This large seizure of counterfeit surgical masks, destined for frontline medical workers, demonstrates the great collaborative effort between CBP and HSI."

In July, HSI's National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center told reporters that more than 50% of all counterfeit goods were coming from China.

Well, brace yourselves...a Harris-Biden admin will either greatly hamstring or eliminate ICE altogether. The world knows two pieces of shit may soon be in charge, so here come the POS illegals swarming across the border looking for freebies, here comes drug dealers, gun runners and slavers (human traffickers). And of course, such fake gear will just flow across the border. Those fools should have waited to the spring.

You will upset some posters here when you point out how bad Jim and Fauci are.

But, but Acosta works for CNN! He is always right, and Trump is always wrong! This can't be true. Oh! this is some contrived, fake pic, probably cooked up by Sean Hannity himself.

Goosey, lil johnny, and you others...explain this, please.

The information at the time said it would take a long time. Things changed, so the time frame changed.

That is true.. and who was the catalyst behind things changing?

Trump's Operation Warp Speed. You think it was something else?

Nope.. sorry that was meant to be a rhetorical question.. didn't really mean for you to answer it.. my bad..

Still going to be over a year before most Americans can get it (measured from March 3). A far cry from the 3-4 months that Trump incorrectly mentioned (that Fauci was correcting).

No Trump didn't and no that is not what Fauci was correcting. Fauci NEVER expected the red tape to allow this so soon. Good grief. Trump never said everybody would get the vaccine by year end.

This is something Trump the businessman made happen and you still deny it. You got issues.

The red tape had already been cut at the time. Fauci was going against everything and anything Trump was saying.

I have already credited Trump for Warp Speed.

Trump: “I’ve heard very quick numbers — a matter of months — and I’ve heard pretty much a year would be an outside number. So I think that’s not a bad — that’s not a bad range. But if you’re talking about three to four months, in a couple of cases, and a year in other cases — wouldn’t you say, doctor, would that be about right?”

Wrong. This comment was made in March, well before Operation Warp Speed.
