she was allowed to stay in the country while her asylum case is pending. She said she crossed the border from the Mexican state of Tamaulipas into South Texas and requested asylum in the U.S. Quezada made the trip a year ago with her youngest daughter, who was 12 at the time, after she says she was threatened at gunpoint in Honduras and saw her home flooded twice by hurricanes in 2020. Three generations of the family had safely immigrated to the U.S., starting with Quezada’s mother, who moved to Los Angeles three decades ago.

In the past fiscal year 2021, immigration officials had a record-breaking 1.7 million encounters with migrants at the Southwest border. And they are attempting to cross the southwest border in record numbers. The deaths underscore the perils migrants face and the sacrifices they are willing to take to escape the effects of crime, endemic poverty, corruption and climate change in their home countries.
