As the world eagerly awaits the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States, a National Guard agent has made a startling discovery at the Mexico-US border in Ciudad Juarez. Upon inspection, it was revealed that a secret tunnel, stretching over 1,000 feet, had been used for illegal activities between the two cities of Ciudad Juarez and El Paso.
The tunnel, equipped with lighting, ventilation, and reinforced walls, was discovered on January 10th during a routine inspection of a storm drain system by US Customs and Border Protection agents. It is believed to have been used for smuggling people and contraband into the US for an unknown period of time.
On the Mexican side, the tunnel is six feet high and four feet wide, making it easily accessible for both people and illegal goods. General Jose Lemus, commander of the military garrison in Ciudad Juarez, stated that the tunnel was guarded and used by an organized criminal network.
Victor Manjarrez, a former Border Patrol sector chief with over 20 years of experience, revealed that connecting tunnels through the storm sewer system is a common practice among smugglers. He also added that this operation was not a small-scale effort, but rather a well-organized and sophisticated operation.
With Trump's campaign promises to crack down on illegal immigration, security has been heightened on both sides of the border. The discovery of this tunnel only adds to the tension and fear among undocumented immigrants, as reports suggest that Trump plans to deport millions once he is in office.
Karoline Leavitt, spokesperson for the Trump administration transition team, stated that the new President will use all federal powers and collaborate with state authorities to carry out the largest deportation operation in US history. It is also reported that raids to detain and deport undocumented immigrants will begin on the first day of the new administration.
As the world awaits Trump's official inauguration, it has been reported that he plans to sign over 200 executive actions, including a declaration of national border emergency and directing the military to aid in securing the Mexican border. This news has caused fear and uncertainty among immigrant communities, with many seeking guidance and resources on how to protect themselves and their families.
Sarait Martinez, executive director of an organization that supports Mexican farmworkers in California, expressed concern for the fear and anxiety that has already spread among immigrants, even before the new administration has taken office. With an increase in interest for workshops and resources on how to handle confrontations with immigration officials, it is clear that many are preparing for the changes to come.
