Inside underground El Paso storm drain system Border Patrol says cartels exploit to smuggle illegal migrants

U.S. Border Patrol in El Paso confirms cartels exploit an underground storm drain system to smuggle illegal migrants, with 32 known entry points from the Rio Grande and hundreds of exit points across the city. The El Paso Sector’s Confined Space Entry Team navigates the dangerous network, which has led to 161 migrant apprehensions this fiscal year despite historically low border crossings.
