So no, I didn't go on the raid itself.

Handing that information off was the probable cause they needed to be able to go get a warrant, go to the location, and also communicate with the

Mexican authorities on the other side to perform a raid.

And yeah, that's what that's what happened.

One of the commanders that was with the Border Patrol was actually posed with a photo that was found on the Mexican side after the tunnel apparently had been built, along with other Mexican military and U.S.

military.

So there had been some collaboration.

Prior to us getting there, there had been some, a lot of suspicion that the federal government knew that 80%, I think it was 60 to 80% of the cocaine was coming through the Douglas, Arizona area.

That's basically region six, or that's why they called it JTF six.

So they knew all the cocaine's coming through this one area, but the local authorities back then

came up with shrugs like, oh, we just don't see where it's coming from.

So they suspected there was some compromise of officials down there.

So yeah, we went to work and it didn't take us long to pinpoint this.

So when they recovered that data and they recovered the photos, obviously

They had some of the top names of who was helping out on the U.S.

side to help build the tunnel and also keep it functioning for at least six months, judging by the date on the photo.

Yeah, I was.

Yeah, it is.

Um, I could probably go into some detail that, uh, while we were down there, you know, I got to, uh, got the honor of incinerating all the, uh, uh, it was about a ton of cocaine and a bunch of guns, bunch of money.

Um, and then right afterward, we went right back to work and I ended up getting approached with a friend at, uh, NOCA, Arizona, um, not a friend, but another border patrol agent.
