Border Patrol agents in the remote Big Bend Sector utilize a variety of advanced technology systems to aid in the apprehension of migrants attempting to avoid detection.
Big Bend Sector Chief Patrol Agent Sean McGoffin tweeted two examples reporting the apprehension of migrants by utilizing Automated Surveillance Towers (AST). The sector uses the advanced technology systems to efficiently guide agents to the location of migrants attempting to hide under cover of darkness.
Presidio Station Border Patrol agents received information from tower operators Tuesday night regarding a group of migrants. The agents arrived at the location and found a group of Cuban migrants illegally present in the U.S. The agents transported the migrants to the Presidio Station for processing, McGoffin wrote.
One day earlier, McGoffin tweeted images of a group of camouflage-wearing migrants being apprehended by Van Horn Station agents. AST operators directed the agents to the location where they followed foot signs to find the group.
