Detail of the Free Piece of the Steel Barrier
A cartel driven SUV that was part of a two vehicle attempt to cross the border in the early hours of May 14, 2016, lies on the Mexican side of the border.
While the perpetrators were able to cut through the steel barrier with a cutting torch, this Ford SUV became buried in the sand when the perpetrators attempted to pull the large piece of the barrier that they had cut free into Mexico, in order to drive their vehicle(s) into the United States.
The Border Patrol spent the rest of the day playing "wack-a-mole" with about ten individuals from this group who were trying to cross the border without the use of their vehicles.
The SUV had California plates but the one on the front didn't match the one on the back, the vehicle looked like it was built from more than one car and the whole scene just screamed "half ass."
