On Monday, Clem said he doesn't believe Title 42 is contributing to the rising number of migrant deaths in Yuma County. “With greater border enforcement, it doesn’t stop migrants from coming, it leads them to take greater risks,” “Everyone who is getting expelled is trying to cross again and again until they make it or until they perish and that is directly tied to policies like Title 42,” Garcia said.īrad Jones with Humane Borders, which operates out of Tucson, says the record number of migrants coming to the border is proof Title 42 doesn’t work as a deterrent to migration. Governor Ducey, and the state of Arizona have pushed for Title 42 to remain in place at the border.Īrizona’s lawsuit against the CDC prevented the Biden Administration from ending the policy on May 23rd.īut humanitarian groups say these actions are causing the increase in deaths because Title 42 closes ports of entry to asylum seekers, pushing the migrants to cross in dangerous areas in-between official entry points.ĭulce Garcia, the Executive Director of Border Angels, says her organization urges migrants in Tiajuana shelters not to take the risk of crossing through an ocean, river, or mountains to get into the U.S.īut she says they have fled violent situations, so many see getting to the states as their only option.
“Agents have recovered 17 bodies in the desert, a 112% increase since last year,” Clem said.
He says in the Yuma Sector, migrant deaths are on the rise. On the same day as the drowning, I was with Yuma Sector Chief Patrol Officer Chris Clem in the Yuma desert.

The drowning and body recovery happened somewhere north of the Morelos Dam.įrom the dam up north to where the river splits the border wall at Andrade, Calif. They were rescued and taken to a children’s detention facility in El Paso.They declared the child to be deceased and took custody of the body. The harrowing ordeal comes days after two sisters were dropped over a border wall by smugglers. After video of the encounter was posted online, there was an outpouring of love and support and concern for the boy's well-being. His parents are believed to be in Nicaragua, but he has relatives in the U.S. The boy was wandering the desert for four hours before he was found. I was with a group that came. and at the end they dumped me and I came here to ask for help. “You didn’t come with your mommy or daddy or anyone?” the officer asked the boy in Spanish.
