Border Patrol Responds & Provides Aid to Driver After Roll Over Accident at Organ Pipe

TUCSON, Ariz. – Border Patrol agents assigned to the Ajo Station assisted a civilian motorist involved in a single vehicle rollover Monday afternoon on Organ Pipe Cactus Monument.

National Park Service rangers responded to the accident on State Route 85 near Lukeville.

Agents arriving on scene assisted NPS rangers with providing first aid for the injured driver and provided assistance with traffic control, until Emergency Medical Services arrived to transport the individual to a medical treatment facility.

Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents work in remote areas and are often the first to respond to vehicle accidents on rural roads.

Border Patrol officials encourage anyone in distress to call 911, or activate a rescue beacon, before becoming a casualty. In the Tucson Sector’s harsh desert environment, Border Patrol security operations can quickly turn into humanitarian operations.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials welcome assistance from the community. Citizens can report suspicious activity to the Border Patrol and remain anonymous by calling 1-877-872-7435 toll free.

BBVA Bancomer: Arnulfo Rodríguez

VIDEO Análisis y Perspectivas de BBVA Bancomer: "La recuperación del petróleo ha favorecido los balances fiscales y externos": Arnulfo Rodríguez

Los precios del petróleo continuarán con una recuperación gradual en la medida en que la oferta y demanda global de este insumo energético sigan aproximándose a un rebalanceo. Arnulfo Rodríguez Hernández, economista principal de BBVA Bancomer, señala que durante 2017 este aumento contribuyó marginalmente a mejorar los balances fiscales y externos de México.

Arnulfo Rodríguez destaca que para lograr avances sustanciales en el balance público de este año y los siguientes será fundamental insistir en tres objetivos: el primero, enfocado a continuar con el buen desempeño en los ingresos tributarios; el segundo, basado en la firme disciplina sobre el gasto público; y el tercero, orientado al impulso del sector manufacturero exportador.

El analista de BBVA Bancomer señala que en 2015 y 2016 los menores precios del petróleo impactaron negativamente en la balanza comercial. En ese mismo periodo, el valor de las exportaciones petroleras del país registró un nivel 38% menor al del año 2014 y explica que en 2017 la recuperación de los precios del petróleo incidió favorablemente sobre el valor de las exportaciones del crudo, pero que la mejora en la balanza comercial al final obedeció al menor déficit comercial de la industria manufacturera, que pasó de 6,848 millones de dólares en 2016 a 989 millones de dólares con flujos acumulados entre enero y noviembre del año pasado.

Rodríguez estima que hacia adelante los precios del petróleo seguirán con una recuperación gradual y señala que en los datos de flujos acumulados entre enero y noviembre de 2017, se observa que la transición de déficit a superávit en el balance público se debe principalmente al favorable desempeño de los ingresos no petroleros y, en menor medida, a la contracción anual en el gasto del sector público junto con ingresos petroleros relativamente estables.

Sonoita Agents Rescue Mexican Man with Broken Ankle

TUCSON, Ariz. – Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents from the Sonoita Station rescued an injured Mexican man found abandoned by smugglers just north of the international border, approximately 20 miles east of Nogales, early Friday.

An agent was investigating a brushfire near the border when he encountered a 33-year-old Mexican national with an open ankle fracture. A nearby Border Patrol agent trained as an emergency medical technician evaluated the man’s injury and provided first aid while waiting for an air ambulance to arrive.

The man was flown to a Tucson hospital for treatment and will be processed for immigration violations after being cleared by hospital staff.

DHS arrests fugitive human smuggler

 
TUCSON, Ariz.– An 18 year-old  southern Arizona man wanted in connection with a foiled smuggling attempt that endangered the lives of two illegal aliens was arrested Thursday by special agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), officers with Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and agents with Tucson Sector Border Patrol -- collaborating under the Border Enforcement Security Taskforce (BEST). 

The incident occurred over the weekend, when Nogales Station Border Patrol agents assigned to the immigration checkpoint near Amado referred the driver of a sedan for secondary inspection. As the vehicle moved past the primary inspection, the driver accelerated, fleeing northbound.
 
Federal agents pursued the vehicle for several miles before the driver lost control and crashed in a ditch off the roadway. The driver exited the vehicle, and fled on foot. After agents secured the vehicle, they discovered two male Mexican nationals -- illegally present in the country --in the trunk. Both men, ages 32 and 36, were not injured during the incident and are being processed for immigration violations. 
 
After thoroughly searching the area, the driver could not be located. Less than 4-days later, agents were able to procure a federal arrest warrant for the suspect after reviewing evidence left behind in the vehicle and at the immigration checkpoint. Through investigative techniques, HSI agents located and arrested the suspect without incident, ending the five-day search. 

The defendant made his initial appearance in federal court Friday and has been charged with human smuggling.

The arrest of the suspected smuggler exemplifies the coordination and collaboration within local, state, and federal agencies to bring dangerous criminals involved in illicit human smuggling to justice.
 
Federal and state law allows agents to charge individuals by complaint, a method that allows the filing of charges for criminal activity without inferring guilt. An individual is presumed innocent unless and until competent evidence is presented to a jury that establishes guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.


The primary mission of HSI’s Border Enforcement Security Task Force (BEST) is to combat emerging and existing Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCO) by employing the full range of federal, state, local, tribal and international law enforcement authorities and resources in the fight to identify, investigate, disrupt and dismantle these organizations at every level of operation.

During processing, a records check indicated Lopez had an extraditable warrant from Catawba County, North Carolina for attempted first degree murder. He was processed for immigration violations and turned over to Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office for extradition to North Carolina.
