A recent investigation by Fox News reveals that cartels are still utilizing an extensive network of storm drain tunnels in El Paso, Texas, to smuggle migrants from Mexico into the United States. These tunnels, stretching miles across the region with 32 entry points from the Rio Grande and hundreds of exit points, pose extreme dangers due to their hot, dark, and low-oxygen environments. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents describe the challenges of patrolling these tunnels, which require specialized training to navigate and monitor oxygen levels. Despite President Trump’s border security policies, which have led to a significant decrease in migrant groups being smuggled through the tunnels—from 40-60 people per group to just 2-3—cartels continue operations, charging migrants up to $30,000 per person. CBP officials note that smugglers are increasingly using social media to recruit guides, compounding the risks for migrants. The article highlights the ongoing struggle between border enforcement and cartel activities, emphasizing the perilous conditions and the financial incentives driving these illegal operations.
