Many of the drugs that arrive in the United States pass from Mexicali, Mexico, to Calexico, California, and then to El Centro, California. The drugs ( fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin) arrive in automobiles and by the many pedestrians who pass every day between the two countries. There is also human trafficking, also known as alien smuggling, where persons are hidden in compartments in a vehicle, a trunk, or who are given false papers.
Many of those who are arrested at the old or new border crossings at Calexico don’t even know that they are carrying contraband. They are the blind mules. (See the book that Russell authored on blind mule*** link to page.)
All federal drug cases begin at the courthouse in El Centro, but these cases will eventually go to the San Diego Southern District Courthouse .
