Border Patrol arrests suspected illegal immigrants wearing ghillie suits to blend into desert

22 Aug 2022

Three migrants attempting to sneak into the United States from Mexico took a page from a covert military handbook when they were found trying to blend in with the surrounding terrain to avoid detection Thursday.

Border Patrol agents in the agency’s El Paso Sector arrested the three migrants, who were wearing ghillie suits as they allegedly snuck through the desert in southern New Mexico.

The gillie suit is a type of camouflage material used to blend into various natural environments such as the desert, snow and other types of terrain. They are mostly worn by military personnel, police and hunters.
Migrant encounters have become more common as the crisis at the southern border continues.

The CBP announced there were 199,976 migrant encounters in July, making the total so far this fiscal year to 1.946 million encounters.

At the end of 2020, migrant encounters were around 72,000 per month. By March 2021, after President Biden took office, that figure jumped to around 173,000 each month.
