1 dead, 22 rescued at border after heavy rains in California.
The first rescue happened after 11 p.m. Thursday when an agent on patrol found three people in a drainage"tube" about two miles west of the San Ysidro border crossing, according to CBP.
"Agents contacted San Diego Fire & Rescue to help rescue the people from the drainage tube as the water was beginning to rise due to heavy rainfall," the CBP said. All of those rescued, including an unaccompanied minor and three women, were being processed for allegedly crossing the border illegally, the CBP said. Eight were hospitalized.
In a separate incident, two people, including a teenager, were rescued in the federal Otay Mountain Wilderness in eastern San Diego County late Friday morning, according to a California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection incident report.
