Suspected border tunnel is detected in Calexico
U.S. federal authorities have hired a contractor to excavate an area in Calexico that they suspect could be the site of another cross-border tunnel.
It's in the same area where two incomplete cross-border tunnels were found last year, one by a U.S. Border Patrol agent and the other by city work crews.
U.S. authorities believe the tunnels were being built to transport drugs illegally into the United States. Calexico is about 100 miles east of San Diego, across the border from the Baja California capital of Mexicali.
