Amid heavy rain, Border Patrol agents and firefighters rescued 20 people on Thanksgiving night who attempted to cross from Mexico into the San Diego region through a flooded network of drainage pipes. “The lifesaving efforts of these agents, who bravely risk their own lives to save others, makes me proud,” Douglas Harrison, chief patrol agent for the Border Patrol‘s San Diego sector, said in a statement. San Diego firefighters and lifeguards were dispatched to help with the rescue. The agent called the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, which took custody of the body.
