Agents patrolling Imperial Beach found the 25-year-old man hanging from a part of the wall that juts out into the Pacific Ocean at around 8:15 p.m. Tuesday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said in a statement. The migrant had tried to scale down the U.S. side of the barrier and got stuck above the waterline, the agency said. Mexican authorities dislodged the man, while the CPB agents brought the man to safety. 

He was taken to a hospital and treated for hypothermia and knee pain, according to authorities.

While the agency did not immediately say whether the man had been left behind by a human smuggler, it warned of the dangers posed by such traffickers.

"Let this serve as a grave reminder," Chief Patrol Agent Aaron Heitke said in a statement. "A smuggler’s sole motive is profit. When the going gets tough, they will leave you hanging, both literally and figuratively.  Our agents will always preserve lives whenever possible."
