Discovery Channel’s Contraband: Seized at the Border takes viewers to the front lines of border security, where agents work tirelessly to intercept illegal goods and maintain control at one of the world’s busiest checkpoints: the U.S.-Mexico border. This week’s episode, “Grinding to a Halt,” may feature a seemingly mundane scenario–officers spot a lone pedestrian carrying large bags–but as any seasoned border agent knows, appearances can be deceiving.
What seems like a routine inspection could uncover anything from smuggled drugs and weapons to human trafficking. “Grinding to a Halt” likely refers to the disruption caused when border security uncovers something illegal, bringing the flow of traffic to a standstill as agents conduct a thorough search. The episode airs Monday, April 28 at 9:00 PM ET on Discovery.
