Last week, The Department of Justice indicted Abdul Karim Conteh, a man from Sierra Leone accused of leading a large human smuggling organization that brought thousands of undocumented migrants into the United States. According to the indictment, Conteh allegedly "oversaw the migrants' unlawful entry into the United States by various surreptitious and unlawful means, including the use of ladders and tunnels."
A new piece by Border Report reveals just exactly how widespread the use of ladders in the border is, as dozens of them were found in a dumpster in an area known as "Whiskey 8," where migrants congregate along the border between San Diego and Tijuana, about 2 miles west of the San Ysidro Port of Entry.
