"The affection and care between neighbors across the border is really beautiful and speaks to the fact that we are all just regular people, trying to live regular lives" -activist in Lochiel before the ancient Cottonwood trees began to be ripped from the earth.

Today, ICE murdered Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Maine. Once again, a family, friends, and community are left carrying the unimaginable weight of a life taken. There are no words that can fully honor the gravity of this moment or the profound loss.

There is no O'odham word for "wall". We affirm the right that all peoples, especially the indigenous caretakers of this land, remain free from further state violence, state militarization, and the irreversible destruction of their lands and sacred sites.

The traditional territory of the Tohono O'odham nation is already severed in half by the US/Mexico international border, with families split across a line that crossed them. Many nation members experience heightened surveillance from border technology and violent policing from Border Patrol.

“I think when you recognize that every person on that database that we've collected is a person with a story and a name and a family. It does break your heart and I think it should break your heart." -No More Deaths volunteer

This report documents migrant deaths along the entire border from 2002-2025. This data does not account for the unknown thousands who have disappeared while crossing.

Cada donación nos ayuda a brindar ayuda humanitaria, apoyar a las familias que han perdido a sus seres queridos a través de nuestra línea de ayuda, respaldar refugios a lo largo de la frontera, y documentar las realidades que los migrantes enfrentan. www.azgives.org/organization...

On April 7th, you have the chance to be part of something powerful. Every gift — whether big or small — helps us provide humanitarian aid in the desert, operate our missing migrant hotline, support shelters along the border, and document the realities migrants face. www.azgives.org/organization...

Record heat warnings will be hitting the southwest this week, making crossing the desert even more deadly. Last year, more than 112 people were killed in Arizona while crossing the border.

Otro mundo es posible si lo construimos juntos. Únase a la manifestación por el cierre nacional en el Edificio Federal en Tucson.

“As a humanitarian organization founded on the belief that all people deserve dignity, we condemn all acts of violence from Border Patrol” www.commondreams.org/news/border-...

If the border did not exist, if militarization and violence were absent from the borderlands, people would move freely, without needing to turn to smuggling networks.

As we saw with the killings of Renee and Alex in Minneapolis, when federal agencies shoot people, they smear the victims as criminals and terrorists regardless of any facts.

By donating you are helping us deliver humanitarian aid, strengthen shelters, and document human rights abuses so these stories are not silenced. Join us in giving + sharing.

🚨 On Sunday, November 23, U.S. Border Patrol illegally entered the No More Deaths’ humanitarian aid station and arrested three people who were receiving aid, without a warrant.

“I have breathed so many deep breaths of life on this sea. I feel a deep hope, for all of us, to keep the struggle going. This, too, the Palestinians have taught us. If Gaza falls, we all go with it. The free world hinges on a free Palestine” - Aid worker on Flotilla

Falls from the border wall accounted for at least 87 deaths in just California, New Mexico, El Paso, and Yuma alone, almost all occurring since new border wall construction under the first Trump administration.

None of the Use of Force deaths from the three sectors where we had full access to this information were reported by the OPR, and only 3 of the 21 in-custody deaths. This serves to massively misrepresent the extent of Border Patrol’s involvement in the migrant death crisis.

Tasked with investigating and reporting CBP-related deaths, the OPR instead serves to cover up cases, routinely recording different causes of death than those reported by the local medical examiners or neglecting to report relevant cases at all.

The El Paso Sector includes El Paso and Hudspeth counties in Texas, and the entire state of New Mexico. For more on this sector, see elpasomigrantdeathdatabase.org

Data for Yuma and El Centro Sectors include Yuma county in Arizona, and Imperial and Riverside counties in California.

The following charts compare our data with CBP. San Diego sector data includes data from San Diego county.

You can donate here to support our work: donatenow.networkforgood.org/nomoredeaths...

Our database compiles information obtained via public records requests to local medical examiners, coroners, police, and other sources, and compared this data case-by-case with CBP’s data.

This data will not bring anyone back or undo the decades of suffering and death caused by US border policy, and it does not account for the tens of thousands of disappeared—but it is the most comprehensive record to date of people who died crossing the border.

Every gallon we put out on Sunday was decorated at our Saturday night event with messages of hope and care from local community members and those of you who sent messages over the week.

This past Sunday, we hosted our first Longest Day Water Drop, open to the public. We had 25 people come out and collectively left 364 gallons of water in the desert over the course of just a few hours!
