Bob Price6 Dec 2019
Border Patrol agents rescued nearly 5,000 migrants during Fiscal Year 2019. Those include many women and children from the Rio Grande and others in distress in the arid ranches or deserts.
Last week, Border Patrol agents assigned to the San Diego Sector rescued 22 migrants who became lost in the wilderness areas of California, Breitbart Texas reported. The rescues followed the onset of bad weather. A few days earlier, Tucson Sector agents rescued five more migrants who became lost in the Arizona desert. Both of these rescues involved mothers traveling with juveniles.
Earlier that month, Del Rio Sector agents rescued a migrant woman who they found unresponsive on a ranch near Eagle Pass, Texas. That woman was traveling with two children, ages six and 17, officials stated.
“Agents continue to apprehend individuals with preexisting medical conditions,†Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Raul L. Ortiz said about this incident in a written statement. “Thankfully, the swift response of agents helped save the woman’s life.â€
