TUCSON, AZ – On Monday afternoon, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents rescued a stranded migrant in the Baboquivari Mountains southwest of Tucson.
On board a U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Air and Marine Operations Blackhawk helicopter, assigned to the Tucson Air Branch, members of the Tucson Sector Border Patrol Search Trauma and Rescue (BORSTAR) team responded to a 911 call placed by a 24-year-old Guatemalan man. The air crew located him near Baboquivari Peak, where rugged terrain forced them to perform a hoist extraction of the man.

TUCSON, ARIZ. – The number of migrants trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally continues to rise and so does the temperature along the Southwest border. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials in Arizona are preparing for a busy summer ahead, working in triple-digit temperatures.
CBP’s Tucson Sector opened their doors Thursday to media to help warn migrants not to cross in the desert heat.

The Border Patrol Tucson Sector hosted an annual border safety event on Thursday warning migrants about the dangers of crossing the desert.
The agency invited human rights groups and Mexican and Guatemalan government representatives to talk about the journey and discourage citizens from making it. Tucson Sector Deputy Chief Patrol Agent Sabri Dickman said Arizona’s border is the most dangerous terrain for migrants. The terrain is extreme, the summer heat is severe, and the miles of desert you must hike after crossing the border are unforgiving, he said. It’s a fact, more migrant deaths have been reported in Arizona than anywhere else along the southwest border.
