More than 800 migrants are known to have died along the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal year 2022.
Danyelle Khmara Border officials and representatives from Mexico and Central America are making a direct plea to people considering the often deadly journey of crossing the U.S.-Mexico border undocumented.
That’s up from 600 known deaths in fiscal year 2021, which set a record then, according to a Government Accountability Office report on the Missing Migrant Program. Nonetheless, the number of migrant remains found in fiscal year 2022 at the Arizona border dropped slightly from the previous two years, according to data from Humane Borders’ Migrant Death Mapping, a project done in partnership with the Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office.
The program works with consulates of various countries and other governmental and nongovernmental organizations to find people who have gone missing crossing the border and those who are in distress and need help.In April, the Government Accountability Office found the Border Patrol had not collected or reported to Congress complete data on migrant deaths, in particular those instances where an external entity first discovered the remains.
George Serrano, the Border Patrol’s national coordinator for the program, has visited multiple sectors and says they’re working on streamlining the information they get from outside organizations, such as missing persons reports from consulates, and also avoiding having multiple missing persons reports on the same person.
