There were 136 bodies recovered in the desert from Jan. 1 to Sept. 1 this year, compared to 163 in the same period in 2021, county records show.
By Tristan Richards Cronkite News Migrant deaths in Arizona’s deserts have fallen sharply so far this year, even as the number of immigrants caught trying to cross the state’s border with Mexico has been soaring.
Dr. Gregory Hess, Pima County medical examiner, said it would not be surprising to see a surge in deaths later this year, noting that the number “kind of just seesaws over time.” But for now, deaths are down despite punishing heat and drought gripping the state. Hess said he cannot pin down an exact reason why deaths have dropped so far.
“Ultimately, it’s not on the individuals to try to stay safer,” Corich-Kleim said. “The government should stop having deadly policies and that would keep people safe.” He said prevention through deterrence was introduced by U.S. Border Patrol in 1994. DeLeón is also head curator of the Undocumented Migration Project, an anthropological analysis of border crossings in northern Mexico and southern Arizona, that said the policy was “designed to discourage undocumented migrants from attempting to cross the U.S/Mexico border near urban ports of entry.”
“You know – a bunch of migrants die in Texas in the back of a truck and suddenly everybody is really concerned about border enforcement strategies,” DeLeón said. “Migrants die every single day and they have been every single day for the last 20 years.”
