The Border Patrol is putting 209 more agents along the Arizona border to help with the search and rescue of illegal immigrants in the desert.
Operation Guardian begins Tuesday and continues through September, according to a press release from the Border Patrol.
The operation complements Operation Desert Shield, which began June 1, and sent 20 additional Border Patrol Search Trauma and Rescue (BORSTAR) agents to the Tucson Sector, which includes most of the Arizona border.
As of July 31, Operation Desert Shield had yielded 1,333 apprehensions, 199 rescues and 92 medical calls. The operation is also responsible for seizing 9,765 pounds of marijuana, 1 pound of cocaine and recovering 17 bodies, according to the release. Operation Desert Shield is also scheduled to continue through the end of September.
