“It’s miserable out there, but so far we have rescued quite a few people in distress because of new tools and that’s encouraging,” he said. Hundreds of 911 metal placards with a number code at the bottom for migrants to call from their own cell phones and alert agents of their location. The calls are triangulated with other authorities, including Carrillo’s sheriff’s office.
But anecdotally, at least two rescues were due to 911 placards and at least five because migrants pressed buttons of rescue beacons. This year the sector has recorded 23 deaths due to“That’s 23 deaths too many,” Rivera said, adding that the sector recorded 39 deaths a year ago., a United Nations agency based in Switzerland, found 2021 was a record deadly year for migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. Last December, the agency said at least 650 people died along the U.S.
One week in June, at least five bodies were recovered along the El Paso border region. Several more were rescued. “So, if you don’t get killed in the rival cartel wars, or you don’t die in the desert or drown in the canal — let’s say you finally make it to a stash house, after you paid your good hard-earned money to be smuggled into the United States — your family still has to cough up money for kidnapping and ransom fees,” Hutchens said. “The smugglers are the scum of the earth.”
