TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — An agent from the Douglas Station provided aid to a migrant who fell from the border wall, according to U.S Border Patrol's Tucson Sector Chief John Modlin.
The 24-year-old Salvadoran citizen was hurt after falling so an EMT-certified agent came to the rescue.
Crossing the border illegally is extremely dangerous.
