Deadly Terrain - Migrants Succumb to the New Mexico Desert
The White House reports a sharp decline in illegal border crossings since President Biden's new asylum restrictions, but a heartbreaking reality persists: the number of migrants losing their lives at the border continues to rise. In Sunland Park, New Mexico, a small, overburdened fire department battles the unforgiving summer heat to save lives and recover bodies, often under incredibly difficult circumstances.
From March to July of 2024, I spent several days capturing this deeply human story, with additional support from photographer Armando Rodriguez, who documented the heartbreaking recoveries at the Rio Grande in June 2024. Original music by Scott Eric Olivier underscores the gravity of these moments.

The daily bus rides out of Union Depot are provided by the state of Texas as part of Operation Lone Star. The city says it's a vital tool when it comes to managing migrant arrivals in El Paso. But critics of the program say it does little to protect the well-bei...

    1st it's hard to take seriously a guy that got drunk on I-10 crashed his car into another car and tried to leave the scene. 2nd "invasion" What do you call 10-16 THOUSAND people crossing the border DAILY???3RD OBAMA (fact) was the one putting kids and families in cages. 4th these people are crossing ILLEGALLY. If YOU break our laws do you get in trouble? 5th doesn't it make sense that what 300 are crossing daily vs 14,000 that only 6 people would die Vs 100's when 14,000 are crossing??? Lastly what about the human trafficking, the sex trafficking, the young girls getting raped on their way here, the cartel charging individuals $10,000 to cross border, the Americans getting killed by illegals trying to get away from police AND the fentanyl that ONE illegal was caught with that was enough to kill every person in the USA???
