“Smuggling gangs in Mexico have repeatedly sawed through new sections of
President Trump’s border wall in recent months by using commercially
available power tools, opening gaps large enough for people and drug loads
to pass through, according to U.S. agents and officials with knowledge of
the damage,” the Washington Post <https://wapo.st/2qjWC9V> reports.

“The breaches have been made using a popular cordless household tool known
as a reciprocating saw that retails at hardware stores for as little as
$100. When fitted with specialized blades, the saws can slice through one
of the barrier’s steel-and-concrete bollards in a matter of minutes,.”

“After cutting through the base of a single bollard, smugglers can push the
steel out of the way, allowing an adult to fit through the gap. Because the
bollards are so tall — and are attached only to a panel at the very top —
their length makes them easier to push aside once they have been cut and
are left dangling.”
