The U.S. Border Patrol says it rescued three people from flooding on the Arizona-Mexico border after they became trapped in flood-control tunnels under the Nogales port of entry.
Agency spokesman Brian Levin says the first rescue occurred Saturday evening when officers heard cries for help and found a 27-year-old Mexican man pinned against a tunnel wall by flood waters.
Officers removed several grates, lowered a rope and helped the man climb to safety.
Later that night, officers heard more cries for help coming from the same flood control channels under the port. They found a 15-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy trapped by the water.
With help from the officers, the Mexican teens reached a ladder and climbed out.
