The section of the U.S.-Mexico border along the Rio Grande in Texas where the bodies of at least nine migrants were discovered this week has become one of the deadliest corridors for illegal crossings.
since 2016, when the Obama administration abruptly halted a policy that initially allowed them in on humanitarian grounds.
In a news release last month, CBP said it had discovered bodies of more than 200 dead migrants in the sector from October through July. Some of the busiest crossings on the border — including Eagle Pass and Yuma, Arizona — were relatively quiet two years ago and now largely draw migrants from outside Mexico and Central America’s ‘Northern Triangle’ countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
