New York: Two Indian nationals have been apprehended by the patrol agents at the US-Mexico border in Arizona after they got stranded while trying to enter America illegally, authorities said. Agents assigned to the Ajo Border Patrol Station rescued the two migrants following the activation of a US Border Patrol rescue beacon Wednesday evening. The duo was transported back to the station for processing, where records checks revealed the men were Indian nationals who were trying to enter US illegally. US Border Patrol has encouraged anyone in distress to call 911 or activate a rescue beacon before they become a casualty. In fiscal year 2018, the United States Border Patrol apprehended people from 113 countries along the southwest border.
