A New York sheriff on Friday pleaded for more help from the U.S. Border Patrol, telling reporters his department is seeing "more and more people" attempting to cross the Canadian border, which he noted "can be deadly terrain if you're not familiar with it."
Just last week, David Favro's team in Clinton County assisted Border Patrol agents in rescuing 39 migrants, including some whose clothes had frozen to their bodies.
"The only way to really be able to cover and protect [the northern border] is boots on the ground," Favro said, per NBC News.
Customs and Border Protection added 25 agents to the area last week as illegal border crossings have increased tenfold in the last five months compared to the same time last year along the nation's border spanning eastern New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire.
