Summary

[edit]
Description

TUCSON, Ariz. – Tucson Sector Border Patrol, Air and Marine Operations (AMO) and Arizona Department of Public Safety (AZDPS) jointly rescued migrants during three complex operations within the last six weeks in Arizona’s rugged desert. The first joint rescue occurred on Jan. 8 when a Honduran national was extracted from the bottom of a 400-foot cliff near Three Points. The man was left behind by his traveling partner due to a broken ankle. Border Patrol Search and Trauma (BORSTAR) agents deployed from an AMO helicopter and located the man in a precarious area. Agents were joined by AZDPS paramedics who helped stabilize the man for transport to a local hospital via an AZDPS helicopter. The second rescue occurred Feb. 19 when Sonoita Station Border Patrol agents responded to a report of suspected illegal border crossers and found an unconscious man with severe head trauma caused by a fall. Field agents rendered emergency medical treatment to stabilize and keep him alive until BORSTAR agents arrived on scene.
