The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is reportedly investigating a sophisticated tunnel stretching across the southern border from Ciudad Juarez to El Paso, TX.
On Friday, federal and local authorities swarmed a location on the east side of the city directly opposite the Monument to the Mexican People, a large “X” sculpture in the Plaza de la Mexicanidad in Juarez.
“On January 9, U.S. Border Patrol Agents assigned to the El Paso Station Confined Space Entry Team (CSET) conducted an inspection on the storm drain of a tunnel crossing from Cd. Juarez to the El Paso storm drain system,” Customs and Border Protection explained in a press release.
“At approximately 1:15 a.m., Agents discovered the completed man-made tunnel coming from Mexico that breaches into the public storm drain after removing a metal plate covering a 36-by-36-inch entry hole. The tunnel is about six feet tall and four feet wide and is equipped with lighting, a ventilation system, and is braced with wood beams throughout.”
Authorities believe the tunnel was constructed within the past year.
Photographs taken inside the tunnel were provided exclusively to All Source News.

No one was located in the passage on Friday, but it has presumably been used to move people, drugs, weapons, and/or other contraband between the U.S. and Mexico.
Last year, Border Hawk exposed how drainage tunnels and underground shafts are used by human smugglers and foreign criminals in the El Paso area.
