Agents Rescue Drowning Migrant from California Border Canal
Border Patrol agents in Southern California rescued a migrant who had trouble staying afloat while crossing the All-American Canal. The migrant attempted to cross with another man.
El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents operating the sector’s Remote Video Surveillance System (RVSS) observed two people illegally crossing the border from Mexico into California, according to information obtained from Border Patrol officials. The incident took place shortly after noon on October 8.
The RVSS operators sent Border Patrol agents to the location after observing the two migrants entering the canal in an attempt to travel north.
Officials report that one of the migrants began experiencing difficulty in remaining afloat in the canal despite wearing a life vest. Agents arrived on the scene and quickly deployed a rescue bag to pull the migrant safely to the bank.
