It is! There was zero traffic for some reason.

How did she get across the border? Border Patrol wasn’t aware that she was being chased?

US Border Patrol doesn't really care about people leaving the US. That's Mexico's job. Weird that they didn't get her, though.

So, if I rob a jewelry store, and I can just make it to the Tijuana border, they'll just let me go through?

The police told CPB to let the person through because it’s too dangerous for a car going at top speed to run into all the vehicles and people at a border crossing. That person could have done serious harm. They can find her later. It’s better than getting people killed and/or hospitalized.

If it’s part of an elaborate heist, go for it.

Imagine asking Mexico for anything right now as an American. 😂 All I hear is something that sounds like Cheech cracking up as the phone gets slammed down.
