Topic: Hakumba

Drew Hernandez reports from Hakumba, California, documenting a significant gap where the border wall ends. He demonstrates how easily individuals can walk between Mexico and the United States, noting a lack of Border Patrol presence in the immediate area. Hernandez highlights that this specific sector has become a "hotspot" for military-age men and Chinese nationals entering the country unvetted.

Hernandez and Mendoza describe encountering cartel surveillance drones and suspicious vehicles while reporting at night in Hakumba. They detail a confrontation with a self-proclaimed Christian NGO worker who claimed the area was "Mexican territory" despite being on U.S. soil. The reporters emphasize the danger of operating in cartel-controlled zones where journalists can be misidentified as rival gang members.
