Nestled less than a football field’s distance from the border wall, an quiet housing community harbors a secretive compound employed for the trafficking of both individuals and narcotics into the United States.
It appears, surveillance to ensure successful smuggling activity is maintained by a vigilant man circling the premises, meticulously monitoring the surrounding terrain. Meanwhile, scouts positioned on the Mexican side of the border discreetly patrol the roads, providing the green light when opportune moments arise.
The compound artfully conceals its nefarious undertakings with a small patch of dense trees and brush. An individual, bearing what appears to be a bag laden with narcotics, discreetly deposits the illicit cargo amidst the foliage. Subsequently, as the horse-mounted observer returns, the smugglers capitalize on the strategic breach in the compound’s wall, located not far from their operational center.
Border Patrol’s inability to repair the wall until after the holiday—Martin Luther King Jr. Day — provided an opportunity for the smugglers to exploit knowing there was a temporary lapse in security during this period.
