The San Diego Sector Border Patrol is currently alerting illegal immigrants about the potential risks associated with traveling to San Diego County in harsh weather conditions.
According to a release from the San Diego Sector Border Patrol, the area is expected to experience heavy rains and cold fronts, which could have significant consequences for individuals attempting to enter the United States illegally. These weather conditions greatly increase the likelihood of sickness, injuries, and even fatalities for those involved in such activities.
According to San Diego Sector Chief Patrol Agent Patricia McGurk-Daniel, a message is being conveyed to migrants who may be contemplating the act of illegally crossing the border. The message is straightforward and emphasizes the importance of not endangering their lives. The lack of concern exhibited by smugglers towards individuals is evident. In previous instances, there have been cases where certain individuals or groups have chosen to discontinue their support or assistance towards others, resulting in a situation where numerous migrants were left to independently manage their own well-being and survival.
According to her statement, it is evident that human smugglers perceive individuals solely as commodities that can generate profit, rather than recognizing their inherent humanity.
The warning issued by McGurk-Daniel serves as a timely reminder, coinciding with the coldest days of the year in San Diego County. It highlights the persistent efforts of human smugglers to facilitate the illegal crossing of migrants across the border, disregarding the challenging weather conditions.
According to the release, it has been observed that the significant decrease in temperature during nighttime poses a particular risk to individuals who are venturing into rural areas.
According to the release, it is stated that smugglers do not inform migrants about the potential consequences of cold weather on their physical and mental well-being. This lack of warning leaves migrants unaware of the genuine dangers they may face, such as hypothermia, frostbite, or even death. In the past, migrants who were abandoned have experienced significant injuries and, in some cases, have tragically lost their lives due to both their injuries and exposure to harsh environmental conditions.
The tragic story of three sisters who lost their lives in 2020 serves as a prime illustration of the fatal outcomes that can result from abandonment. These young girls met their untimely demise after being left behind by a smuggler.
According to the release, despite the extensive rescue effort made by CBP, the three women unfortunately lost their lives due to exposure to cold weather. The incident that occurred and the smuggler's complete disregard for safety in this particular situation serves as a clear and powerful reminder to migrants about the importance of not entrusting their lives to criminal organizations whose primary motivation is financial gain.
In order to address the potential risks posed by severe weather conditions, the Border Patrol has implemented a range of safety measures. These measures include the dissemination of public service announcements, provision of cold weather kits, installation of rescue beacons, and the deployment of the Border Patrol Search, Trauma, and Rescue team for active patrols.
According to the release, the assets and tools mentioned are specifically designed to assist in mitigating the risk of cold-weather related injury or fatality along our borders.
