The group was screened by the Border Patrol’s EMT’s and Search, Trauma and Rescue team for any medical conditions before being transported to the Lordsburg and Deming Border Patrol Stations for processing, the release said.
“Even as temperatures rise to dangerous levels, criminal organizations continue to exploit innocent human lives in order to enhance their illicit gains without regard to the risks associated with the hazardous practice,” the Border Patrol news release said. “In most cases, these smugglers never cross the border themselves in order to avoid apprehension.”
