Migrant Deaths in the Desert - Interactive Map


Because of the violence in Central America and the chaotic immigration system in place in the US,  migrants are crossing the Arizona desert in search of safety and/or asylum.

In partnership with the Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office, Humane Borders has created an updated migrant death map, formally known as the Arizona OpenGIS Initiative for Deceased Migrants. The map is searchable. Viewers may see the exact location where each migrant body has been found, along other information, such as the name and gender of the deceased (if known and if the family has been notified), date of discovery, and cause of death.
