The US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) has claimed to have found the most technologically advanced border tunnel in American history, an underground smuggling route that stretched from Mexico into Arizona.
Measuring at about 3 feet across and 4 feet tall, the tunnel was equipped with an elaborate ventilation system, electrical and water lines – as well as a small railway. Discovered near Yuma, Arizona, the 1,300-foot long passageway also featured “extensive reinforcement and shoring,” the agency said in a press release, sharing several photos of the installation.
“This appears to be the most sophisticated tunnel in US history, and certainly the most sophisticated I’ve seen in my career,” said Carl Landrum, acting chief patrol agent for ICE’s Yuma Sector.
