Border Agents Encounter 57 Aliens in Record Heat

TUCSON, Ariz. – Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents assigned to the Ajo Station arrested a large group of aliens during a heatwave, some in distress, including a pregnant female, west of Lukeville Friday afternoon.

Agents were alerted to the group’s location after receiving a call from the Sonora, Mexico’s 9-1-1 center relaying information from persons within the group. The callers, stated they had crossed the border illegally, and requested assistance.

Ajo Station agents patrolling nearby immediately responded to the area, as well as agents from CBP Air and Marine Operations.

Through the collaborative search effort of CBP assets on the ground and in the air, agents encountered 21 adults, 36 minors, 17 of which were unaccompanied, to include a one-year-old toddler. The group was comprised of undocumented aliens, from Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

Although several appeared to be dehydrated, medically trained agents immediately assessed all the aliens for health concerns, and found only one person required further medical attention. An underage pregnant female, was provided intravenous fluids by Border Patrol EMT’s for dehydration, and is being transported to a local area hospital for further treatment.

All persons found were given water and food, and removed from the 108-degree-temperature stifling the area, to the Ajo Station for processing.

Regardless of the unscrupulous and ill regard for human life attitude by smugglers, Border Patrol Agents work tirelessly to ensure not only the safety and security of our nation but also the safety of those who they come in contact with. Due to the extreme heat, Tucson Sector Border Patrol officials warn that summer is an especially dangerous time to be stranded in Arizona’s desert. Anyone in need of emergency assistance should call 9-1-1 immediately as dehydration can be deadly if not treated.

Arizona’s desert is a merciless environment for those unprepared for its remote, harsh terrain and unpredictable weather. The Border Patrol advises anyone in distress to call 9-1-1 or activate a rescue beacon as soon as possible.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.

The pregnant girl will have her anchor baby, so the risk paid off for her.

Yeah. She probably had 5 abortions until someone told her she could have an anchor baby.

Haha, you said it brother. I was stationed in Yuma for a summer in 74’ I know it hit 120. We couldn’t even work on Phantoms during the day. Not much work anyway in the dry heat. It was far different then the nightly sauna of north Carolina, the bain for electronics.

“...36 minors, 17 of which were unaccompanied...”

Wait. How did Trump get down there so quickly and take their parents away from those 17 minors!?

I forget now the statistics, but it was something like 30,000 minors being held. 20,000 had arrived in the USA without an adult. If the liberals were so f****ing concerned about these “children” (how many are 15-17 year-old thugs?), send them back to their families!

If liberals were really concerned for the “unaccompanied minors,” they would be excoriating their parents for turning them loose with smugglers who take them into the Sonoran desert in summer. It’s usually a death trap for people walking through it.

This group was well-watered if only one needed medical attention.

the only assistance they should have gotten was a swift kick in the butt all the way back across the border, into the waiting arms of Mexican authorities.

Is it really detention that is causing ‘trama’ in the children or is it children kidnapped by one related or nonrelated person to use as a ‘passport’ ?

““We see 2-year olds picking up phones from the wall and saying, ‘Dad? Dad?’ They see a male guard and ask where their dad is,” she said.”

“Last month, U.S. Border Patrol arrested more than 9,400 family members crossing the southern border illegally. “
