(CNN) Federal agents in San Diego seized about 4,400 pounds of drugs from a sophisticated smuggling tunnel that stretched into Tijuana, Mexico, authorities in California announced Tuesday.
The three-foot-wide tunnel is more than 2,000 feet long and has reinforced walls, ventilation, lighting and a rail system, according to a statement from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It had an average depth of 31 feet.
The tunnel linked a warehouse in the Otay Mesa section of San Diego to another in Tijuana.
Authorities found 1,300 pounds of cocaine, 86 pounds of methamphetamine, 17 pounds of heroin, 3,000 pounds of marijuana and more than two pounds of fentanyl in the tunnel, according to the statement. The drugs have a street value of $29.6 million.
"These tunnels show the determination of drug trafficking organizations to subvert our border controls and smuggle deadly drugs into our community. But these recent tunnel seizures also show the dedication of our amazing partners on the San Diego Tunnel Task Force to locate and shut down these tunnels to keep our communities safe," Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent in Charge John W. Callery said in a statement.
"Despite the current COVID-19 pandemic, DEA employees continue to work tirelessly to serve and protect the community."
Agents estimated that the tunnel had been in use for several months, the statement said.
It was discovered March 19 after an investigation by the San Diego Tunnel Task Force, which includes the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations, US Border Patrol, the DEA and the United States Attorney's Office.
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Across New York City, health care workers face tremendous challenges to treat patients, and at Brooklyn’s Brookdale Hospital Medical Center they are at their maximum capacity.
Patient beds line the hallways as every inch of this building is now being used because of the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak, reports CBS2’s Kevin Rincon.
“Well, this is a warzone, a medical warzone,” said Dr. Arabia Mollette. “Every day I come, what I see on a daily basis is pain, despair, suffering and healthcare disparities.”
Mollette works in the emergency room where more than 100 coronavirus patients have walked through with another 70 people under investigation.
“This virus sees no it is no difference,” she said. “It has nothing to do with age, has nothing to do with access to healthcare, has nothing to do with socio-economics, race or ethnicity. This virus is killing a lot of people.”
Like everywhere else, Mollette says they’re in need of a lot of things including supplies.
“We need prayer, we need support, we need gowns, we need gloves, we need masks, we need more vents, we need more medical space, we need psychosocial support as well,” she said. “It’s not easy coming in here when you know that what you’re getting ready to face.”
This hospital has 370 beds, but that’s not enough.
Not only are they running out of room for the sick, they’re running out of room for those who’ve died. The morgue is filled and a refrigerated trailer is now parked outside for overflow.
One thing they have been able to do is develop rapid testing in-house with the ability to conduct 300 tests per day.
In order for things to improve here, they need to see fewer patients, so the message continues to be: Stay home, so they can do their jobs.
Jay-Z and Rihanna are joining forces for a special cause. The Shawn Carter Foundation, along with Rihanna's Clara Lionel Foundation, will be each donating $1 million for COVID-19 response efforts.
According to a press release, the combined $2 million funded by both foundations will "support undocumented workers, the children of frontline health workers and first responders, and incarcerated, elderly and homeless populations in New York City and Los Angeles."
The funds are also "offering daycare, learning materials, food and supplies for the children of frontline healthcare workers and first responders, providing learning materials for the over 20,000 children and youth learning in shelters and virtual mental health support for parents, and ensuring child-care centers are clean, have smaller clusters of children and that all personnel are protected."
"There are a number of populations who are especially vulnerable during this pandemic — those who are undocumented, incarcerated, elderly and homeless, as well as children of frontline health workers and first responders," says Justine Lucas, executive director of the Clara Lionel Foundation. "Now more than ever, we need to support organizations prioritizing the health and rights of these individuals."
Adds Gloria Carter, CEO, and co-founder of the Shawn Carter Foundation: "In times of crisis it is imperative that we come together as one community to ensure that everyone, especially the most vulnerable, has access to critical needs: shelter, health, nutrition, and education. The only way to get through this pandemic is with love and action."
George Foreman counseled Deontay Wilder after his crushing loss to Tyson Fury ... telling TMZ Sports he's the only man who understands what the Bronze Bomber's feeling -- 'cause Muhammad Ali humbled him the same way during "The Rumble in the Jungle."
We were talking to the 71-year-old boxing legend when he revealed he recently talked to Wilder following his devastating February 22 TKO loss at the hands of the Gypsy King.
"I had a nice conversation with Wilder, nice conversation with him."
Why, you ask?
Well, Foreman says he knows EXACTLY how Deontay feels ... 'cause like with Fury, Ali handed George his 1st L and took his belt in Zaire in 1974 -- the "Rumble in the Jungle" -- one of the most famous sporting events in the history of the world.
"We talked because I was in a position where I lost unexpectedly with the title in Africa. Only I know what he's going through," Foreman tells us.
The Hall of Famer continued, saying ... "He's gonna have to live with [the Fury loss] but I can show him how to live with that and come back better. We talked a lot on those lines."
FYI -- Foreman was 40-0 when he lost to Ali. DW was 42-0-1 when he lost to Fury. Both boxers were champs.
Shortly after the loss, Wilder exercised a rematch clause in his contract ... setting the fighters up for a trilogy fight later this year.
Despite clearly wanting revenge, many experts say taking the fight is a terrible career move for Deontay -- as they don't think he can beat the slick-moving 6'9", 273-lb. heavyweight.
Straight nonsense in Foreman's mind, 'cause he says Wilder can 100% beat Fury ... and it'll actually be pretty simple.
"Not only beat him, [Wilder] can do it easily," George says, adding ... "Give him another chance. He'll show you."
Foreman's living proof a comeback's possible (although he never got a shot at running it back with Ali) ... he became heavyweight champ again 20 years later.
With Big George's help, Deontay will attempt to do the same ... but he ain't trying to wait 2 decades.

West Coast Artist, Kushy Carlito releases his latest compilation "Lost Angels"
From the gritty streets of Los Angeles, by way of Compton, CA, Kushy Carlito, an up and coming artist in entertainment, is primed to take the game by storm. Emerging onto the scene with his kushy flows and witty wordplay, Kushy Carlito delivers an array of records portraying tales of the struggle, shedding light on issues in the community, and giving motivation to others to get that money.
The street life is survival of the fittest. Every day lived is a blessing in of itself. Kushy Carlito originates from that exact struggle, and as he climbs out of that pit of poverty. He uses his music to take his following along for the ride.
Money is the motive as with anything else, and growing up in the hood, the youth seem to go down the same road to gain their riches - selling drugs or hitting house “licks.” Kushy Carlito often found himself caught up and eventually suffering the consequences of his foolish decisions. But with the weight of providing for his two seeds on his back, daily, Kushy Carlito decided to make some changes.
With a 9 to 5 grind, he used his hustler's mentality to fuel his real dream- music. Inspired by fellow West Coast artists- Nipsey Hussle and Kendrick Lamar, Kushy began to study the game and develop his flow. He dedicated himself to mastering his craft with one goal in mind, “BE YOUR OWN BOSS”.
Today we celebrate the release of Kushy’s 5th project to date entitled, "Lost Angels." The 10-track project features hits like “My Pain 2” and “Superbad.” Filled with witty flows and West coast vibes, Kushy is ready to take over the streets and put his name on the map. “Definitely my best work, definitely”, says Kushy.
