EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – Mexican officials responding to a tip from U.S. authorities say they were unable to locate a purported second illegal tunnel leading from Juarez to El Paso.
The Mexican National Guard and Chihuahua state police searched areas near the Juarez Chamizal Park on Tuesday afternoon. They found what appears to be an old drainage tunnel near sunken soccer fields along Avenida Heroico Colegio Militar, but they said it doesn’t lead to the U.S.

“The tunnel (found) during this operation does not represent an illegal crossing into the United States,” the Chihuahua state police said in a statement Tuesday night. “However, the (search) operation will continue intermittently in the next few days, given that CBP has said another tunnel could possibly exist in the area.”
