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.

Thanks for documenting this issue,
Tracy Morgan “somebody gonna get pregnant”
Wore da dog tags
I am so sorry to hear that. Thank you for making me laugh so much love always Miguel Marrero rest in peace. FREDDY😂
Somebody got pregnant tonight
These poor fucking women, to have to outlive their son and their husband, what a shame. I hope that Freddy and his dad are reunited up there, that’s the silver lining I have in my mind. More people need to know about Freddy.
One of my favorite artists
Fastest and running mr. Morgan
Tracy Morgan you need workout just like Will Smith
Dude transformed into P.T. Anderson! 😮
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???
Great interview. Robert.
Well done, Robert. Your work is always top notch.
What a pinche mentirosa. We dont claim fake Latinos. CTM Robert.
Robert Francis isn’t qualified to talk about our Border Patrol and allude to any kind of brutality. Why give this entitled loser a platform?☹️
I hope he runs again.
The most underrated stand up comedian of all time hands down .
Love it. I will try and get to EP and see the show.
pablo is def larger than life. i hope hes stayin healthy!!
damn that is great! you can't control him you can only hope to contain him! Comedy Genius!
Tracy Jordan is a real person 😂
This is an excellent piece. Thank you for creating this informational piece. I cried at the human suffering that I could see in these people. I wish I could help more.
Thank you, Nancy. I appreciate you watching.
Robert....Thanks for your steller reporting. John
Thank you for the kind words, John. I appreciate it.
He’s not wasted he’s a genius
Guy was HILARIOUS.
If I ever get a chance to see Trae live in Toronto, I'd get someone pregnant.
I was there that night in Irving Plaza and Jim and his peoples hung out at the merch table for most of the get up kids set. Mad chill Jim and everyone
Tracy hitt the milly rock
Wow. Thanks for making and sharing this. Never knew any of those details just know this was one of the funniest of all time that I wish more people knew about. Greg Giraldo too.
I just found out about his passing tonight! I'm very sad, he was so talented and funny, prayers up for him and his family 🙏🏾✌🏾
Amalia querida ❤
Last Sparta album blew it sounded like they wanted to turn into another Genre. Just bc you grow up doesn’t mean you throw away 20 yrs of good music. Im officially done with all at the drive in side projects. Over it
I'm the ooh child
My god he looks like the happy mask salesman from Majoras mask, especially in the thumbnail.
Jim is so El Paso. His accent shines in this interview.
Freddy was a born star
I remember his great jokes as told by Carlos Mencia.
Amazing guy, Sparta was amazing
One of the best to ever do it period. He left us way to soon like so many others.
How did he die?
Overdose
VVVvieeeEETTTTT Nnnaahhhm

"I'm in Texas el Paso, somebody gonna get pregnant." lmfao
Without your voice at the drive in is more like at th driv i lol an alphabet missing letters. Good for you for moving forward and learning from all the stuff and doing things your way.
Freddy my friend...miss you so much.
He just says "somebody gon get pregnant" on everything and it's always funny
Not wasted, just naturally insane
I would like Sparta to tour to Australia- sorry if I’m a it behind but now I’m adult I would love to rock out to the old albums where every song was a banger!
