U.S. Attorney's Office Files 71 Border-Related Cases in Southern California

The office said the Southern District of California is the fourth-busiest federal district, largely because of the volume of border-related crime. The district covers San Diego and Imperial counties and shares a 140-mile border with Mexico.

The district also includes the San Ysidro Port of Entry, which the source describes as the world's busiest land border crossing. It connects San Diego, identified in the text as America's eighth largest city, and Tijuana, identified as Mexico's second largest city.
