Nearly 50 migrant deaths at border in first 40 days of FY2025
EAGLE PASS, Texas (NewsNation) — Nearly 50 migrants have died attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border since Oct. 1, as Texas officials ramp up security measures ahead of January’s presidential transition.
“It’s horrible, it’s inhumane,” said Border Patrol Union President Paul Perez. “Allowing people to come and die in their trek? That’s not humane. It’s completely inhumane, scary and it should stop.”
The deaths come as cartels tighten their grip on border crossings, implementing a sophisticated wristband system to track payments and routes.
