Border Patrol Urges Families to Stop Dangerous Crossings (video)

Rising Death Toll

A record number of immigrants are crossing into the U.S., leading to an unprecedented number of deaths at the Mexico border. The U.S. Border Patrol has identified the El Paso sector as particularly dangerous, with 1,140 immigrants reported dead this year.

New Tactic to Curb Crossings

In response to the rising death toll, authorities are targeting U.S.-based families of migrants. They are urging these families not to send money to those attempting to cross the border illegally, warning that it could lead to their relatives being abandoned in dangerous conditions.

Increased Mexican Enforcement

Mexican authorities have intensified their enforcement efforts, particularly on trains heading towards the U.S. border. The military is conducting sweeps to prevent migrants from reaching the border, adding another layer of difficulty for those attempting to cross.

Cartel Involvement

The Jalisco Cartel is reportedly involved in smuggling migrants into El Paso illegally. This has led to an increase in dangerous crossings and more migrant rescues being needed.

Emergency Responses

Local emergency services, including fire departments, are responding to multiple rescue calls daily. Many of these calls involve migrants drowning in the Rio Grande or being abandoned in the New Mexico desert without resources.

Border Patrol Warnings

The Border Patrol has issued a warning to Americans, advising them not to pay smugglers. They emphasize the risks involved, including abandonment and exposure to extreme conditions during the crossing.

Ongoing Challenges

Migrants face numerous dangers, including being trapped in storm drains and crossing the Rio Grande. The Border Patrol and other agencies continue to work on rescue operations to save as many lives as possible.
