US-Mexico border deaths lower per year under Trump than Obama, data shows

A media firestorm has surrounded President Donald Trump for his U.S.-Mexico border and immigration policies, but most reports fail to mention that deaths at the southwest border were actually higher under former President Barack Obama.
After several migrants have recently died while crossing the U.S.-Mexico border or in U.S. Border Patrol custody, the media and notable figures in politics have pointed the finger at President Trump, whom they say should be “attacked†for the policies, and more.
However, some of the highest numbers of deaths on the southwest border over the past two decades actually occurred under former Presidents Obama and George W. Bush, according to U.S. Border Patrol data provided to American Military News.
