US border patrol officers found a tunnel near the Mexican border near San Diego, which, according to customs and border guards, was used to smuggle people into the country.
This discovery was made after border patrol agents arrested a nearby 30 man who illegally entered the States, reports ABC News.
“At approximately 1:12 a.m., Border Patrol agents encountered several individuals who had entered the United States illegally. Agents searched the area and found a large hole in the ground with a ladder inside. They concluded that this was a people smuggling tunnel. The exit from the tunnel is located in the area of the checkpoint in Otay Mesa,” the Border Patrol said.
