Cartel Mountain and the Invasion of New Mexico
Border Hawk
Border Hawk takes you to one of the most dangerous places along the U.S.-Mexico frontier: Sunland Park, New Mexico.
Sunland Park lies directly across the border from Puerto de Anapra, a ‘colonia’ in Ciudad Juarez in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.
Anapra is one of the poorest communities in Juarez, a de facto squatter settlement where thousands of people live in self-built shelters lacking basic services or infrastructure.
Many U.S.-bound migrants pass through Anapra before illegally crossing the border, often climbing over the international barrier, walking through gaps where the wall is non-existent, or by hiking Mount Cristo Rey - referred to locally as ‘Cartel Mountain.’
