A drone has led Mexican authorities to the discovery of a suspected drug tunnel beneath the U.S.-Mexico border, officials reported.
Newsweek contacted Customs and Border Protection for further comment via email outside of normal office hours.
Why It Matters
The discovery of the tunnel south of Yuma, Arizona, highlights ongoing border security challenges that President-elect Donald Trump will face when he takes office.
Trump has pledged to crack down on crime syndicates, drug smuggling, and illegal migration as he looks to implement his mass deportation policy.
While the wall remains a focal point in immigration discourse, tunnels like the one uncovered in the city of San Luis Rio Colorado in Mexico, which abuts the U.S. border, show how traffickers adapt to bypass barriers.
