Border agents unearth 'most sophisticated smuggling tunnel in US history' equipped with water, electricity and even a railway track
2020-08-07
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The 1,300ft tunnel ran from San Luis, Arizona, through to San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico

  • Tunnel had a ventilation system, water lines, electrical wiring and a rail system

  • This appears to be the most sophisticated tunnel in U.S. history, and certainly the most sophisticated I´ve seen in my career,' said acting chief patrol agent

  • Homeland Security Investigations found the tunnel in mid-July when they discovered a sinkhole in the area of a tunnel investigation

  • No arrests have yet been made but agents are working closely with Mexican law enforcement

  • Border agents have found numerous cross-border tunnels this year.
