Border agents reportedly discover 60-foot tunnel to Mexico at southern border
The tunnel, which is seemingly under construction to stretch toward Mexico, was discovered on the American side of the border, near the Rio Grande River in Hidalgo, Texas, KRGV reported on Wednesday.
T...Hidalgo is roughly 10 miles away from McAllen, a town President Donald Trump visited last month during a trip to the southern border. Border agents, according to the news outlet, claimed they showed Trump photos of the tunnel during his visit.
The tunnel is nearly impossible to see from the Rio Grande River, at the bottom of a 30-foot embankment, and is located roughly 1,500 feet down the river from Brand's county water pump station, according to the report.
Brand told the Rio Grande Guardian that the tunnel was "some impressive work, it is not easy work building a tunnel like that."
