In an exclusive report from the border in Yuma, NickCiletti from kgun9's sister station abc15 rode along with Border Patrol prior to Title 42's end. Full story
YUMA, AZ — Even from thousands of feet above, you can see just how unforgiving the Arizona desert truly is.
Agent Howard: "It can be a number of things - so a lot of times, agents might actually see the group and they will wait for an area unit to get on scene so that when they go in to make an apprehension, they'll sit and keep an eye on them. And then when we get on scene, they make the apprehension. The reason why we do that is because without air, the group could disperse and start running.
And it's flying over the border where a range of barriers are visible - from the actual border wall, to fencing just a few feet tall, to barely anything at all.Nick:"Would you like to see more of the wall built? Do you think that would help?" So far in the 90-minute fly-along with CBP, it has been relatively quiet, but heading east from Arivaca in rural Pima County, that all changes.
What is striking is seeing this group walking with children. Agent Howard says he sees children on a daily basis.Flying alongside CBP patrol agents with Title 42 ending How many individuals are encountered at the border?
