Thirteen people killed in one of the deadliest border crashes on record were among more than 40 migrants who entered the U.S. through a hole cut into Southern California’s border fence with Mexico, the Border Patrol said Wednesday.

Surveillance video showed a Ford Expedition and Chevrolet Suburban drive through the opening early Tuesday, Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol’s El Centro sector chief, told The Associated Press. It is believed they were part of a migrant smuggling operation.

The Suburban carried 19 people, and it caught fire for unknown reasons on a nearby interstate after entering the U.S. All escaped the vehicle and were taken into custody by Border Patrol agents.

The Expedition crammed with 25 people continued on, and a tractor-trailer struck it a short time later. Ten of the 13 killed have been identified as Mexican citizens. The rest of those in the SUV and the truck driver survived.

The Border Patrol said its agents were not pursuing the vehicle before the crash. The opening in the fence was about 30 miles east of the crash in the heart of California’s Imperial Valley, a major farming region.

It was made of steel bollards that were built before former President Donald Trump blanketed much of the border with taller barriers that go deeper into the ground.

This isn’t a game. It’s REAL LIFE and it happens fast! At a simple welfare check, this individual tried to kill every officer.

Some want to Defund The Police + send social workers to every call. It may be well-intentioned, but ideas that aren’t thought out can get people killed.

As a hearing examining the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol in Washington continued on Wednesday, the acting chief of the U.S. Capitol Police said there has been an increase in threats against lawmakers this year in comparison to this time last year.

Acting Capitol Chief of Police Yogananda Pittman testified Wednesday before a House subcommittee, where she said that there has been a more than 93% increase in the number of threats received by members of Congress in the first two months of 2021 compared to the same period last year.

Pittman said there has been more than a 118% increase in total threats and directions of interests from 2017 to 2020.

"In the Department’s efforts to address new and emerging threats, we work closely with the House and Senate Sergeants at Arms to augment and strengthen off-campus security and Member protection," Pittman said. "We routinely collaborate to assess members’ district and state office security, and we provide recommendations on ways to improve and enhance security measures and practices inside and outside of the National Capital Region."

Pittman stated that the "overwhelming majority" of suspects in threat cases resided outside of Washington, D.C., and noted that the level of existential threats to the U.S. Capitol and Grounds are increasing as well.
