Summary
Border Patrol releases chilling new footage revealing migrants covered in mud, evidence of underground smuggling tunnels near El Paso-Ciudad Juárez. A key tunnel, allegedly built by the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación, was used to transport people, drugs, and weapons—with smugglers charging up to $30,000 per migrant. One defendant, Luis Carlos Davalos-Lopez, pleaded guilty to human smuggling charges and faces up to ten years in prison. The case also exposed gun trafficking from the U.S. to Mexico. Additional videos show smugglers exploiting drainage systems in urban areas, highlighting how easily these hidden routes evade detection. Despite Joint Task Force Alpha’s arrests and convictions, underground networks persist—proving physical barriers alone won’t stop this evolving threat.
