Armed Mexicans Were Smuggled In to Guard Border Wall, Whistle-Blowers Say
Two whistle-blowers have accused contractors building President Trump's border wall of smuggling armed Mexican security teams into the United States to guard construction sites, even building an illegal dirt road to speed the operation, according to court documents unsealed by a federal judge on Friday.
The two employees, who were both contracted to provide security at the sites, accused the company, Sullivan Land Services Co., or S.L.S. as well as a subcontractor, Ultimate Concrete of El Paso of hiring workers who were not vetted by the United States government, overcharging for construction costs and making false statements about those actions.
