Extreme heat leaves seven migrants dead in United States’ Texas

TEXAS – At least seven migrants, including a woman and three children, have been killed due to extreme summer heat in Texas near Mexico border in the United States (US).

According to media reports, the US Border Patrol agents in the Del Rio area recovered the bodies after anonymous calls on June 19 and June 20 alerted them to lost migrants.

According to media reports, due to the Trump administration asylum’s claim policy, migrant families from Central American countries are attempting risky border crossings to make their claims.

Increased fencing and security in many areas means migrants who have been deported, and are seeking to evade capture, often take dangerous routes to re-enter the US.
