"Rise in Smugglers Directing Migrants to Arizona Desert Presents Border Patrol Challenges"

Smugglers are directing migrants from Africa and Asia to the remote and treacherous Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in Arizona, leading to a surge in border crossings and posing new challenges for the Border Patrol. The Tucson Sector has become the busiest sector along the U.S.-Mexico border, with migrants from countries like Pakistan, China, and Mauritania attempting to enter the United States. The Border Patrol is seeking assistance from other agencies to process and provide shelter for the increasing number of migrants. The influx has also resulted in a rise in rescues and deaths, highlighting the dangers faced by migrants in the desert.
