EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Special agents with Homeland Security Investigations, along with U.S. Border Patrol, uncovered what they are calling a “sophisticated cross-border tunnel” connecting El Paso to Ciudad Juarez on Friday, Jan. 10.
HSI El Paso says it is leading the investigation to prosecute those responsible behind the tunnel.
Border Patrol officials earlier called the tunnel an “historic” discovery.
HSI said that upon excavation of the “smuggling tunnel,” they determined that it extends under the U.S.-Mexico border into the Boone Street storm drain in South-Central El Paso and it is approximately 4 feet across and 6 feet in height.
