U.S. and Mexican authorities were searching yesterday for a tunnel used to transport drugs or immigrants to the United States beneath the border fence at Smugglers Gulch.
About 6 p.m., Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were gathered around a manhole on the U.S. side of the border, just feet from a second manhole in Tijuana by the side of Avenida Internacional, a busy highway leading from downtown Tijuana to the suburb of Playas de Tijuana.
Smugglers have used the public drainage system to funnel people or drugs from Tijuana to San Diego.
