Environmental red tape is causing “long delays” for border agents as they try to fill tunnels used to smuggle people and dangerous drugs into the U.S. from Mexico, according to border officials and Republican lawmakers who have discussed the problem with agents.

Frustrated agents complain the lengthy federal review process can stall critical tunnel-plugging efforts for months after passageways are first discovered.

I'm sure the people digging the tunnels didn't check for "environmental safety" before they dug the them which is a lot like the argument against guns.  The government wants to take them away but criminals will keep theirs because they don't care about the laws in the first place.
