A nonprofit organization claims that the U.S. government is vastly undercounting the deaths of migrants seeking to enter the country, attributing this to insufficient follow-up with hospitals, local police and medical examiners after border agents encounter injured people or corpses.
Concretely, Arizona-based No More Deaths published research showing two to four times as many deaths as those reported by the government in West Texas and Southern New Mexico over several years (2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2020).
