A Laredo Sector Border Patrol EMT saved the lives of two migrant women who were abandoned by human smugglers and left to die. The agent had to be airlifted to the migrants’ location to provide assistance.
U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz recognized the efforts of an EMT-trained agent from the Laredo Sector in South Texas. Ortiz tweeted a photo of the rescue effort that led to the saving of two migrant women’s lives.
Human smugglers abandoned the women on a ranch near the Texas border with Mexico — most likely when they became dehydrated and could not keep up. After being notified of the distressed female migrants, officials airlifted a Border Patrol agent trained in emergency medical assistance. Due to the quick response, the agent arrived in time to provide life-saving treatment.During FY22, which ended on September 30, 2022, Border Patrol agents rescued a record-setting 22,014 migrants.
So far this fiscal year, agents rescued nearly 8,000 more migrants, according to a report published by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
