Palominas, AZ -- March 9, 2003
(ABP) -- What started out as a successful mission turned sour
Saturday evening as American
Border Patrol's BorderCam was damage in a rollover accident.
The accident occurred as the BorderCam ATV was being positioned
to send images from a heavily used nighttime crossing spot West
of Naco, Arizona. The BorderCam had just been used to send images
of 50 Suspected Border Crossers up to the Internet as part
of a two day mission to aid a rancher whose property is being
overwhelmed. The accident occurred because the rider could not
see a deep crevasse in the border road. According to ABP, the
BorderCam should be fully operational by week's end. |

Palominas, AZ -- March 9, 2003
(ABP) -- Following the successful apprehension of six Suspected
Border Intruders on a report from American Border Patrol, ABP
"Hawkeyes" reported that departing BP agents honked
and waived at them as they departed the scene. " I have
the distinct feeling that most Border Patrol Agents appreciate
the fact that we are all on the same side of this issue,"
observed Glenn Spencer, Executive Director of American
Border Patrol. During the current mission, ABP has reported
a total of 53 SBIs that were apprehended by the BP.
