Three lives were lost attempting to cross the US-Mexico border near San Diego as a storm hit, bringing freezing temperatures. The US Border Patrol reported two men and one woman found dead in the Otay Mountain wilderness after responding to distress calls on March 14. Concurrently, illegal crossings decreased to record lows, but immigration crackdowns intensified, resulting in the highest arrest numbers in seven years. Research links Trump's immigration policies to increased danger for migrants, emphasizing how border wall construction exacerbates perilous crossings in harsh terrains like Otay Mountain.
Research has found that Trump's immigration policies have led to increasingly dangerous conditions for immigrants. The US president's impenetrable border wall resulted in increased immigrant deaths and devastating injuries from falling.
In the Otay Mountain wilderness, where three people died last week, the terrain is harsh and conditions are extreme. Crossers face dehydration, starvation, heat stroke, and hypothermia.
Border patrol agents responding to distress calls discovered two men and one woman deceased in the Otay Mountain wilderness area due to near freezing temperatures.
While illegal crossings at the southern border fell to the lowest figures recorded since 2000, crackdowns within the US led to arrests of more immigrants than in the last seven years.
