The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Canadian Border Services Agency have each recently issued security notices alerting law enforcement officials to border-crossing issues, including illicit tunnels and fake visas.

On the U.S. side, DHS has issued an assessment of the “threat to the homeland” posed by illicit tunnels — almost exclusively across the Mexican border.

Among the report’s key findings, “Tunnels under U.S. borders with Canada and Mexico serve primarily as conduits for transporting illicit drugs into the United States. In addition, reliable reporting indicates that some tunnels also are used for alien smuggling, including special interest aliens.”

Canadian officials meanwhile have issued a warning that “several…counterfeit visas…have been intercepted at Pearson International Airport in Toronto.”

According to the warning, which was shared with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as part of the routine border-crossing cooperative security, “The counterfeits were detected in the possession of nationals of Ukraine, Georgia and Azerbaijan, and most recently, nationals of India. The counterfeits, purportedly issued in Kiev and Chandigarh, bear serial numbers starting with ‘A043283.’”
