U.S. Border Patrol and sheriff’s departments are recording high numbers of illegal immigrant deaths as the summer heat kicks in.
In June, 109 bodies were recovered by Border Patrol, up from 61 in May, according to preliminary numbers obtained by Jaeson Jones, host of “Tripwires & Triggers,” from Customs and Border Protection (CBP). That brings the total for fiscal 2021 to 321 bodies recovered by Border Patrol, with three months to go.
