The remains of at least 1,500 undocumented immigrants who died on their journey to the U.S. are still waiting to be identified in morgues along the border, a new investigation by Noticias Telemundo shows.
In the investigation, the news organization examined 23 counties at the border in Texas, California, New Mexico and Arizona, and two counties in South Florida. They found that the remains of hundreds of undocumented migrants are still awaiting identification in morgues, laboratories, or cemeteries to be identified and repatriated, though this figure is far from exact, the outlet clarified.
