Officials in Brooks County, Texas, recovered the bodies and skeletal remains of 55 migrants so far this year attempting to circumvent an interior border checkpoint. Brooks County is located approximately 80 miles inland from the Texas border with Mexico.
Brooks County Sheriff Benny Martinez told Breitbart Texas they are seeing an increasing number of deaths in his county due to the massive spike in illegal border crossings this year. The migrants are dying as they are marched by human smugglers through ranches that surround the Falfurrias Border Patrol Checkpoint located on U.S. Highway 281. More than 20 of the 55 deaths reported in Brooks County this year took place since June 2.
“We have more migrants than ever attempting to make the life-endangering trek around the (Border Patrol) checkpoint,” Martinez told Breitbart. “The more who come, the more who die.”
