Borderland: Narcosis with Vincent 'Rocco' Vargas High Tech Human Smuggling Ops: The CCP, Sinaloa Cartel, & Counterfeit Passports
Today on Borderland, Vince talks to San Diego native Cory Gautereaux.
Cory shares his experiences walking along the San Diego Southern border, where he has collected hundreds of abandoned IDs left behind by migrants crossing the border. More recently, he made the startling discovery of an abandoned iPhone, which he was able to unlock, revealing a trove of conversations between smugglers and migrants.
Cory's mission is help stop trafficking along the border, which he has witnessed. If you'd like to support Cory's efforts, check out his non-profit The GOAT Initiative.
