U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested 16 people on Nov. 20 after smugglers cut a hole in a section of U.S.-Mexico border wall and drove a truck through it.

The scheme unraveled at around 3:45 p.m on Wednesday when the smugglers drove a white Dodge 4500 utility truck through a truck-sized hole cut through an old landing-mat section of border wall.
