The number of deceased immigrants recovered at the U.S.-Mexico border spiked during President Joe Biden’s first full year in office last year to the highest number on record, according to data acquired through a Freedom of Information Act request by the Washington Examiner.
Data tracked by federal law enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border indicate that a record-high 880 immigrants who illegally entered the United States were found deceased in fiscal 2022, which ended in September. The Washington Examiner obtained the Border Patrol data Monday through a FOIA request filed in July 2022.
The new revelation underscores the human toll of the Biden administration's border crisis — with more people apprehended crossing into the U.S. illegally since March 2021 than any other time in the Border Patrol's centurylong existence.The number of immigrant deaths had climbed to 568 in 2021 as illegal entry incursions simultaneously increased that year.
“It is a staggering death toll, and it's a sign of how desperate people are that they are willing to take these risks,” Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, the council’s policy director, said last fall. “Title 42 has sort of encouraged people to keep trying to cross the border until they make it through. That has driven people into more dangerous crossing locations."
The Del Rio region reported 255 deceased immigrants, followed by 210 in the southeastern Texas region of the Rio Grande Valley and then 134 in Tucson, Arizona.
