Despite utilizing camouflage clothing in evading authorities, 32 Mexicans illegally crossing the Arizona-New Mexico state line were arrested by the Border Patrol officers, officials said on Thursday.

An image was uploaded online by an official in the area, which shows Mexicans in their outfits surrounded by a group of border patrol agents with a helicopter hovering overhead.

According to Fox News, interim Chief Patrol Agent for the Tucson Sector John Modlin announced on Twitter the arrest made by the Horse Patrol Unit of the Douglas Station. Modlin said that the 32 Mexican nationals used camouflage clothing in order to blend with the surrounding vegetation.

For Border Patrol agents, the tactic is nothing new since it was not the first time that the migrants have used camouflage clothing to escape and avoid any detection while crossing borders as well, The Epoch Times reported.

Last week, Border Patrol agents in Texas captured 20 migrants who were discovered inside a pickup truck and cargo trailer during a stop southeast of El Paso. They also found another 23 individuals packed inside an open-topped Panga-style vessel off the San Diego Coast.

The latest announcement from Modlin came three days after he mentioned that 124 migrants surrendered to Border Patrol agents near San Miguel, Arizona. But out of the 124 migrants, 105 of them were unaccompanied minors.

In April, Border Patrol agents ran into not less than 178,000 migrants who were crossing the border. Out of the 178,000 border crossers, more than 13,000 of them were unaccompanied minors.

Meanwhile, Tucson Sector officials warned in a news briefing last week that border crossers during summertime have the potential of ending up dead in the desert.

The acting deputy chief patrol agent, Sabri Dikman, also stated that the desert is vast and treacherous. He added that crossing illegally means putting your life in incredible peril. Dikman said he shared the information not as an agent for Border Patrol but as an individual who spent his entire 23-year career in Arizona and learned from what he calls "experience."

Covering 262 miles of border between the Arizona-New Mexico state line, the Tucson Sector and the edge of Yuma County sees fewer migrant crossings compared to Texas. However, in terms of fatality, officials noted that it recorded a higher number.
