The river of death...

In 2022, more than 800 migrants have died trying to cross the river that divides Texas and Mexico known, on the American side, as the Rio Grande. On the side of Mexico it has a different name: El Río Bravo, "the angry river" or "the fierce river".

Not all migrant deaths are from drowning, hundreds more die from extreme heat trying to cross the border in remote areas or hidden in the back of trailers suffocated by the heat and/or lack of air.
