In this Dec. 15, 2016 photo provided by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. customs officials destroy a batch of tropical lumber at a landfill in Houston, after 1,770 metric tons of it was held at docks for more than a year on evidence it was illegally harvested in Peru. The amount in the seizure was enough to cover three football fields. The importers paid the storage and disposal fees as part of a no-fault administrative settlement. The wood's impoundment was a pyrrhic victory in Washington's efforts to get Peru to clean up its notoriously corrupt timber industry. (ICE via AP)
