The US-Mexico border, the busiest international boundary in the world, is once again the setting for high-stakes drama in “Contraband: Seized at the Border.” This Monday’s episode, “On the Rocks,” is all about the relentless challenges faced by US Customs and Border Protection agents as they work to secure the nation’s entry points.
From drug smuggling to asylum claims, the episode captures the diverse and often unpredictable situations that unfold daily. In one tense sequence, a man waiting in the pedestrian line suddenly bolts, attempting to flee back into Mexico, leading agents on a frantic chase. Another storyline follows a Mexican national seeking asylum in the US, claiming they were kidnapped and extorted by a cartel.
“On the Rocks” is a reminder of the human stories that play out against the backdrop of border security. It airs Monday, March 31st at 9:00 PM ET/PT on Discovery.
