(Border Patrol agents rescue two)...One was a teenage boy.
It happened Wednesday morning in the Jacumba Wilderness. At around 7:45 Wednesday morning the El Centro Sector received a 911 call from a man claiming to be in distress, lost and without water. The man said he and a 16 year old teen had entered the US illegally with a large group and later became separated as they fell behind. The man said they were north of Interstate 8 and past the tunnels on the train tracks. BORSTAR responded immediately. A search and rescue dog was used to track the two subjects. They were located at just after 10:00 am. The two were provided cold water and agents say they appeared to be in good health. The two declined further medical assistance. It was determined the two were Mexican nationals and had entered the Country illegally. They were processed and deported back to their country of origin.
