CBP: Crash Killing 13 Migrants May Be Linked to Breach in Old California Border Wall
3 Mar 2021
Border Patrol officials say the driver in Tuesday’s crash near Holtville, California, that left 13 people dead may have entered the U.S. through a breach in an older border wall section. It appears two vehicles loaded with migrants illegally entered the U.S. from Mexico through the breach.
At about 6:05 a.m. on March 2, Border Patrol agents in the El Centro Sector found a 10-foot breach in the International Boundary Fence between Mexico and the United States. Officials told Breitbart Texas on Wednesday the breach occurred in an older section of fencing. A few minutes later, agents reviewed surveillance video and observed two SUVs leaving the area near the breach, according to information obtained from El Centro Sector Border Patrol officials.
Border Patrol apprehends group of undocumented migrants
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - El Centro Border Patrol agents came across a group of illegally-present immigrants in the Jacumba Mountains mountain region on Thursday just after 6 p.m.
A female subject was visibly not well while officers questioned the group. She had trouble standing on her own and could not answer questions coherently.
The Border Patrol Search, Trauma, and Rescue (BORSTAR) Unit was immediately requested. BORSTAR agents determined the woman had a weak pulse upon arrival.
She was quickly administered intravenous fluids to improve her condition. Once improved, BORSTAR assisted with extracting the woman and the rest of the migrant group. The extraction took nearly three hours due to the remote location.
