Mexican and US authorities have detected a tunnel suspected of being used for smuggling drugs or people between the US and Mexico. The tunnel was discovered using a drone and sealed during a joint operation.
Mexican and US officials have uncovered a suspected smuggling tunnel linking the US and Mexico after spotting it with a drone. Authorities sealed the tunnel during a joint operation by Sonora’s Public Security Secretariat (SSP) and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Investigators believe the discovery will halt its construction. The tunnel’s entrance was located in San Luis Río Colorado, Mexico , just south of Yuma, Arizona.
The entrance of the upcoming tunnel was located just south of the border wall in San Luis Río, Colorado, Mexico. Officials believe the tunnel was in its early construction stages. If completed, it was likely intended as a “narco tunnel” for smuggling drugs or people into the US. The discovery is seen as a significant disruption to its development and a preventive measure against future cross-border smuggling activities. “Implementing the Border Security Protocol and using technology critical points were identified to strengthen surveillance in the area,” said SSP in the Facebook post. Alongside his intentions for huge deportations, Trump has promised to fight illegal migration, drug smuggling, and crime syndicates, according to. The finding of a tunnel in San Luis Río, Colorado, Mexico, underscores the changing strategies used by traffickers to get around obstacles, even while the border wall is still at the center of immigration discussions. The Sinaloa cartel frequently uses tunnels across the Southwest to smuggle drugs and people, as noted in the DEA’s 2024 drug threat assessment. Some tunnels are highly sophisticated, featuring electricity and ventilation. Mexican authorities report this as the third tunnel uncovered south of Yuma, Arizona, this year.In the past, Pangiam, a top trade and travel technology company, was given a contract by CBP to create and apply Anomaly Detection Algorithms (ADA)
