U.S., Israel Seize (steal) Money

Jerry Seper / The Washington Times:
Agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), working with their Israeli law enforcement counterparts in Israel and at U.S. airports, have seized nearly $500,000 in cash, negotiable checks, gold and diamonds in an investigation into the illicit movement of currency. The seizures, part of a law-enforcement initiative known as "Hands Across the World," also resulted in the arrest of Silvia Joseph, 39, from Argentina, who was apprehended as she tried to leave Newark (N.J.) Liberty International Airport without declaring $130,145 in currency.
