Southern District of California Files 108 Border-Related Cases This Week
Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of California filed 108 border-related cases this week, according to the U.S. The filings include charges of bringing in aliens for financial gain, reentering the U.S. after deportation, and importation of controlled substances.
The office described the Southern District of California as the fourth-busiest federal district, saying that its caseload is driven largely by border-related crimes. The district covers San Diego and Imperial counties.
The district shares a 140-mile border with Mexico. The office also identified the San Ysidro Port of Entry as part of the district, calling it the world's busiest land border crossing.
The source says San Ysidro connects San Diego, described as America's eighth largest city, and Tijuana, described as Mexico's second largest city. No additional case details, defendants, or outcomes were provided in the source text.
