CBP's Air and Marine Operations (AMO) extracted two migrants suffering from hypothermia in the Baboquivari Mountains near Tucson, Arizona March 11, 2022.

The two men had been in the desert for several days, were out of water, exhausted, and could not walk any further.

A National Guard helicopter was able to pinpoint their position, but not able to extract them from the mountains.

An AMO UH-60 Black Hawk crew launched from the Tucson Air Branch and located the migrants deep in the Baboquivari wilderness.

The air crew inserted two Rescue Specialists via hoist. The migrants were hoisted up to the helicopter and transported to Border Patrol agents waiting nearby.
