The US-Mexico border: a 1,954-mile stretch of land where the mundane meets the illicit, where everyday goods can conceal hidden dangers. On Monday, February 3 at 9:00 PM ET/PT, Discovery’s “Contraband: Seized at the Border” returns for its sixth season with “The Flint-Stoners,” an episode that promises a look at the constant cat-and-mouse game between border patrol agents and those attempting to smuggle illegal items into the country.
The season premiere begins with a seemingly innocuous inspection of a trailer loaded with cooking supplies. However, the discovery of a GPS tracker hidden within the shipment immediately raises red flags, suggesting a possible connection to cartel activity. The question becomes: is this an isolated incident, or part of a larger smuggling operation? And what exactly are they tracking?
Meanwhile, in another part of the border, a group of US citizens approaching the international boundary makes a wrong turn and find themselves under the watchful eye of Customs and Border Protection. What begins as a simple navigational error quickly escalates when the agents’ scrutiny reveals hidden secrets.
Tune in to Discovery this Monday at 9:00 PM ET/PT for the season premiere of “Contraband: Seized at the Border.”
