US releases footage of ‘sophisticated’ Mexico drug tunnel #news #usa #drugs #border #mexico The tunnel was about 589 m (1,933 feet) long and linked Mexico's Tijuana to a site near a border crossing station in the U.S. city of San Diego. It was equipped with reinforced walls, electricity, ventilation, a rail system, and up to 1.4 m (4.5 feet) tall at some points. Investigators said the exit in San Diego was concealed beneath a purported retail store called “Buy 4 Less”, with access via a hydraulic lift. Four suspects have been charged over the operation after authorities seized more than a ton of cocaine with an estimated value of $45 million. The U.S. Attorney's Office of the Southern District of California stated in its press release on June 1, 2026, that a cross-border tunnel was discovered stretching from Tijuana, Mexico, to a purported retail store near the Otay Mesa Port of Entry in San Diego.
