The Douglas Station agents launched a drone to assist in locating a migrant reported to be injured. The drone operators quickly located the migrant’s location.
Border Patrol agents and EMS crews carried the 47-year-old Mexican male out of the desert to an awaiting air ambuance.
The aircrew flew the migrant to a Tucson-area hospital, Modlin stated.
