Death is a constant risk for undocumented migrants crossing into Texas. With border security tight and deportations high, some immigrants may be taking even more dangerous chances.
Police officers work on a crime scene after eight people believed to be undocumented immigrants being smuggled into the United States were found dead inside a sweltering 18-wheeler trailer parked behind a Walmart store in San Antonio on July 23, 2017., our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
Large numbers of fatalities along the most heavily trafficked northbound path from Mexico and Central America, for decades the route of those seeking the American dream, are not unusual or unprecedented. Still, the staggering amount Monday, more than any in recent memory, stunned law enforcement and migrant advocates alike.
As the prospect of being able to stay in the U.S. and seek that protection has become more difficult, deaths have risen. At least 650 migrants died crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in 2021,since the International Organization for Migration, a part of the United Nations, began tracking the data in 2014.

Seventeen people were found dead in the trailer, and two later died. The driver was ultimately tried on federal charges and sentenced to 34 years in prison., when 39 people were found in a truck trailer in a Walmart parking lot. Eight died in the truck, and two later at a hospital. The driver of the vehicle was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
