Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 40 migrants after spotting them with unmanned surveillance drones. The apprehensions took place over a few hours due to the use of the technology.
“Over a few hours span yesterday morning, Del Rio Sector sUAS (Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems) pilots assisted in the apprehension of over 40 illegal aliens,” Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Austin Skero tweeted. “These airborne cameras don’t replace traditional law enforcement skills, but their assistance is highly valuable.”
