The migrant activity has never ceased to stop, especially with Title 42 lifted.
Security cameras recorded footage of a migrant lady being dropped from the 30-foot wall in California by a human smuggler. Agents from the El Centro Sector arrived and treated the woman after she had suffered a significant ankle injury.
An El Centro Sector Chief Patrol Agent tweeted a video taken by the border security cameras in his area of responsibility. Several migrants and human traffickers can be seen perched on top of the 30-foot border wall in the footage. The lady abruptly falls to the ground as one of the smugglers attempts to lower her from the wall.

Later, they lower the woman’s son over their heads using rope, placing him at risk.
As a result of their investigation, the El Centro Sector Border Patrol officers discovered the mother and her little kid huddled together behind an embankment. Ankle surgery was performed due to the agents’ examination and treatment of her seriously wounded ankle.
Agents “work ceaselessly to resist the total disrespect for life,” Chief Bovino said.
The Border Patrol’s Border Search, Trauma, and Rescue (BORSTAR) personnel rescued another migrant lady late last week. In the Jacumba Wilderness area, a woman became dehydrated after becoming lost, according to the head of police.
El Centro Sector agents saved nearly 180 migrants in Fiscal Year 22, which began on October 1, 2021.
Polleros are those who are smuggling illegal immigrants. Many individuals in Mexicali are either on their way to or returning from the United States. Located in the Mexican state of Baja, California, just over the border from tiny Calexico, California, this lively metropolis has a population of over 900,000.
For example, a pollero under the alias Alexis was interviewed about the ins and out of the smuggling.
Alexis prefers to take migrants over the border fence directly in the middle of town, right in front of the eyes of Border Patrol personnel, rather than to transport them via distant desert regions that the Border Patrol less closely monitors.
As Alexis has demonstrated time and again, polleros may divert attention by creating a distraction or waiting for Border Patrol personnel to leave a particular location unattended. Polleros use ropes, ladders, or holes in the barrier to cross the border. Once over the wall, the migrants try to blend in with the predominantly Latino population of Calexico to avoid detection by the Border Patrol.
This illegal trade is a profession of its own, but it does not change the fact that it is a crime. This kind of activity should be stopped.
