6/27/19 4:54:14 PM -- San Luis, Arizona -- As day turned to night, United States Border Patrol agent Jose Garibay drove his SUV east along the southern border wall, his lights turned off so spotters on the Mexican side couldn’t see his vehicle.
The radio crackled. A motion sensor was tripped several miles east in a desolate part of the border. Agents were talking back and forth, trying to determine if the alert was caused by a migrant, an animal, or another agent driving through the area.
Garibay decided to check it out and flicked on his headlights at 8:59 p.m. That’s when he realized that two men were crouched low on the U.S. side of the border wall directly in front of him.
