U.S. authorities have discovered an unfinished 1,300-foot (400-meter) tunnel under the U.S.-Mexico border, calling it an unusually sophisticated smuggling route complete with ventilation and a rail system.
The tunnel was found on Tuesday in the desert near San Luis, Arizona by federal agents led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s investigative arm, the agency said in a press release Friday.
The tunnel found this week measured 3 feet by 4 feet and included a “ventilation system, water lines, electrical wiring, rail system, [and] extensive reinforcement,” ICE said. Carl Landrum, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection official, said the tunnel “appears to be the most sophisticated tunnel in U.S. history, and certainly the most sophisticated I’ve seen in my career.” Landrum started with Border Patrol in 1996, according to the agency’s website.
