TUCSON, Ariz. — Record numbers of border crossings and summer heat are likely to be a deadly combination again this summer.
“The amount of death out here is likely to be unprecedented," Tucson Sector Chief John Modlin said."Because as they move away from the border, and move into those remote areas, we may not find them for years.”With the summer approaching, they’re expecting an increase in distress calls."There is no place more dangerous to cross the border than in Arizona," Modlin said.Jose Muriente’s team with Air and Marine Operations are often responding in their Blackhawk helicopter.
