Due to the surrounding terrain, the agents hand carried the woman out of the mountains to an awaiting ambulance. The agents identified the woman as a Mexican national illegally present in the United States.

The same day, Three Points Station BORSTAR agents spotted a group of migrants north of SR-86. The agent called for a helicopter aircrew to pinpoint the migrants and guide ground-based agents to the scene, Chief Modlin tweeted.
