The 2,000-foot-long tunnel was discovered March 19 by law enforcement officers, with Mexican officers locating the tunnel entrance in Tijuana.
Agents searched the Otay Mesa warehouse where the tunnel ends after obtaining a federal search warrant and seized approximately 1,300 pounds of cocaine, 86 pounds of methamphetamine, 17 pounds of heroin, 3,000 pounds of marijuana and more than two pounds of fentanyl inside the tunnel, officials said.
Officials said this was the first time five different types of drugs were found inside a smuggling tunnel. The street value of the drugs seized is estimated at $29.6 million.

For those haven't seen it. https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/politics/president-trump/trump-quietly-shuts-down-asylum-at-us-borders-to-fight-virus/2217704/

Trump Quietly Shuts Down Asylum at US Borders to Fight Virus
The U.S. government is using an obscure public health law to justify one of its most aggressive border crackdowns ever
A U.S. Border Patrol agent wouldn't let Jackeline Reyes explain why she and her 15-year-old daughter needed asylum, pointing to the coronavirus. That confrontation in Texas came just days after the Trump administration quietly shut down the nation's asylum system for the first time in decades in the name of public health.
"The agent told us about the virus and that we couldn't go further, but she didn't let us speak or anything," said Reyes, 35, who was shuttled to a crossing March 24 in Reynosa, Mexico, a violent border city.
She tried to get home to crime-ridden Honduras despite learning her brother had been killed there and her mother and 7-year-old daughter had fled to the Nicaraguan border. But she was stuck in Mexico as the virus closed borders in Central America.
The U.S. government used an obscure public health law to justify one of its most aggressive border crackdowns ever. People fleeing violence and poverty to seek refuge in the U.S. are whisked to the nearest border crossing and returned to Mexico without a chance to apply for asylum. It eclipses President Donald Trump's other policies to curtail immigration — which often rely on help from Mexico — by setting aside decades-old national and international laws.

Robert Evans talked about it or something similar on his It Could Happen Here podcast i think.
I remember hearing similar stories but they were from WWI. Also it's kind of the plot to film King of Hearts
quote:
Charles Plumpick (Bates) is a kilt-wearing French-born Scottish soldier of the Signal Corps, caring for war pigeons, who is sent by his commanding officer to disarm a bomb placed in the town square by the retreating Germans.
As the fighting comes closer to the town, its inhabitants—including those who run the insane asylum—abandon it. The asylum gates are left open, and the inmates leave the asylum and take on the roles of the townspeople. Plumpick has no reason to think they are not who they appear to be—other than the colorful and playful way in which they're living their lives, so at odds with the fearful and war-ravaged times. The lunatics crown Plumpick the King of Hearts with surreal pageantry as he frantically tries to find the bomb before it goes off.
