U.S. Customs and Border Protection warned Thursday that people trying to cross the border illegally this weekend will face extreme 120-degree temperatures in remote parts of Arizona, and said attempting to make the journey in that heat could prove to be fatal.

“The life-threatening temperatures of the summer months are expected to peak this weekend, and the U.S. Border Patrol will be on high alert,” CBP said.
