After U.S. Border Patrol caught someone cutting a hole in a border fence and alerted Mexican authorities, a truck 'cloned' to look like a U.S. Border Patrol truck was found, Customs and Border Protection announced Thursday. On July 22 at around 6:15 a.m., border agents in the El Centro Sector observed a person cutting the steel international boundary fence between America and Mexico, about five miles from the Calexico Port of Entry, which is about 122 miles east of San Diego. Agents then informed the El Centro Sector Foreign Operations Branch, which in turn informed the Municipal Public Security Bureau of Mexicali, capital of the neighboring Mexican state of Baja California, of the situation.
