The National Guard discovered a tunnel in the state of Sonora, leaving for the United States.

Through a statement, the federal agency announced that, under the Border Violence Prevention Protocol, elements of the corporation deployed in Sonora located the tunnel to the United States in the municipality of Nogales.

The excavation had an inlet diameter of 35 × 30 cm, with a depth of 3 meters, and runs a length of 3 meters with an exit to the North American territory. Therefore, coordinated actions were carried out with personnel of the Office of Customs and Border Protection of the United States (CBP) to carry out the closure of the tunnel, whose exit was hidden with weeds.
