OCOTILLO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - One migrant was arrested while agents were rescuing three others in the Jacumba Wilderness, according to US Border Patrol.

At about 6:40 p.m. on Thursday, agents were informed from a 911 call about people in distress after being lost in Jacumba.

One man was found near the group's last known location but he was not related to the 911 call.

By 10:40 p.m., the three people who made the call were found seven miles north of the U.S./ Mexico border.

The group was discovered to not have the proper documentation to be in the U.S. and were taken into custody.

El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents say they have rescued over 200 people since October.
