Air and Marine Operations (AMO) agents, partnered with Border Patrol Agents, rescued a stranded migrant in the Baboquivari Mountains southwest of Tucson, July 26, 2021.
On board an AMO Black Hawk helicopter, agents 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.
An AMO emergency medical technician was hoisted to the stranded migrants’ location for hoist extraction. The migrant was airlifted and transported to a temporary facility for immigration processing.
The Tucson Sector has encountered more than 118,000 single adult migrants this fiscal year to date, a 282% increase over last year.
