Migrant deaths in New Mexico have increased tenfold

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP)
— Ten times as many mi-
grants died in New Mexico
near the U.S.-Mexico bor-
der in each of the last two
years compared with just
five years ago as smug-
gling gangs steer them —
exhausted, dehydrated
and malnourished — most-
ly into the hot desert, can-
yons or mountains west of
El Paso, Texas.
During the first eight months
of 2024, the bodies of 108
presumed migrants mostly
from Mexico and Central
America were found near
the border in New Mexico
and often less than 10 miles
(6 kilometers) from El Paso,
according to the most re-
cent data.
