EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – The heat continues killing migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Mexican authorities on Wednesday rescued six migrants suffering from dehydration in the desert across the border from Santa Teresa, New Mexico. A seventh migrant – a male in his 20s from Durango, Mexico – was found dead nearby.
The surviving migrants told Juarez police their companion started feeling ill as smugglers led the group through the desert to the border wall at Santa Teresa in triple-digit heat. The Durango resident collapsed and died on the scene.
