“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” -Statement from Global Sumud Flotilla

This week on Live Like the World is Dying, Inmn is joined by Bryce from @nomoredeaths.bsky.social to talk about their recently published map of migrant deaths in the border lands and the context that makes this report incredibly important. You can read the report at NoMoreDeaths.org

“The border is a place that does need peace and healing from the layers and layers of trauma stacked on top of the place, wove into it, and the dispossession of people.” New episode of the Border Chronicle with Scott Warren. Listen to learn about Scott’s 2019 trail and his upcoming speaking tour.

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.

Our migrant death database shows how Border Patrol, already the deadliest federal law enforcement agency, lies about BP-related cases through its so-called Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR).

Our new database shows that the official CBP data heavily undercounts migrant deaths by 20-40%, and for some years we record as many as 4 times the official number.

As we move into the hottest and deadliest months on the US-Mexico border, No More Deaths is releasing a comprehensive database and map of recovered migrant remains for the entire southern land border.

Federal agents with Homeland Security drew firearms at humanitarian aid workers and proceeded to forcefully detain them.

A thirty-nine mile section of the southern Arizona border has been transferred by the department of interior for a military zone.

In response DWN, said: “Millions of undocumented immigrants in the US could be denied due process rights & can be detained indefinitely. This is tragic, infuriating, & yet another example of how Trump is using immigration detention as a testing ground for authoritarianism."

No Más Muertes‬ is so important like you could not possibly Do The Work more than these folks are now and have been doing for years.

The Trump administration is 100% lying when they claim Haiti is safe, as even their own government agencies say it is not. Here's what the US government itself still says about Haiti. This is NOT a safe place to send people. It's a death sentence. travel.state.gov/content/trav...

We need answers—now. Where is our sister Hilary Rivers? ICE took her the morning after Pride with no warning, no due process, and no communication. This is not justice—this is kidnapping. We demand transparency, accountability, and her immediate release. Read more: 48hills.org/2025/06/drag...

U.S. military interventions in places like Guatemala + El Salvador fueled violence, displacement + even genocide. Now those fleeing the fallout are met with detention, deportation + contempt. US foreign policy has consequences. It’s time we take responsibility. progresstexas.org/blog/america...

I wrote about death and disappearance at the border, and the bipartisan fascism of the US deportation/detention machine.

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!

Join No More Deaths Volunteers for solstice weekend to flood the desert with water and learn about our mission to end death and suffering in the borderlands!

“Los riesgos que toman los migrantes nunca han sido tan evidentes...” -Saulo Padilla

New interview with No More Deaths volunteer, talking about our work to end death and suffering in the borderlands!

On April 25th Marie Ange Blaise died in ICE custody in a south Florida detention center. She had been detained over two months prior in the US Virgin Islands.

Staying in the US borderlands for a moment, @johannesstreeck.bsky.social reports on the "Necropolitics" behind the US government's never-ending drive to make crossing the border an ultimately riskier and deadlier undertaking, ft. @nomoredeaths.bsky.social:

The FBI arrested a judge for allegedly helping someone avoid an ICE kidnapping in her courtroom. If you're in the Milwaukee area, there's a protest at 3 p.m. at the Federal Building. Resist ICE terror! Drop the charges!

"Ortiz and many other activists on the border believe that the deaths of migrants are not just a consequence of 'Deterrence,' but a desired outcome—Necropolitics."

Thousands of individuals and families who entered the country using the CBPOne app received this email this week notifying them their legal status has been revoked.

This Arizona Gives Day, you can donate to No More Deaths to support our efforts of rendering life saving humanitarian aid in the borderlands. Your support makes a difference!

Dear friends and supporters of No More Deaths - We find ourselves in a moment of uncertainty as an organization and are reaching out to you, our friends and supporters, for help. We are seeking a new fiscal sponsor as soon as possible. Learn more at bit.ly/NMDnextsteps

"Who has the right to have rights? It is certainly not the humans crowded into the cells here. It isn’t the Senegalese man I met who has been deprived of his liberty for a year, his legal situation in limbo and his family an ocean away..." -Mahmoud Khalil

"ICE’s arrest of Mahmoud Khalil should alarm every single one of us. Suppression of dissent is a key tactic of the Trump regime, and now Trump is ramping up the targeting of activists to silence political opposition." - Detention Watch Network

CBP: “Tucson Sector is not enhanced by humanitarian aid volunteers…the agency is able to provide medical and rescue support when necessary.” What kind of emergent situation would warrant a "necessary" response? CBP and Border Patrol leave people to die every day. 🧵

“We Will Fight Back” @nomoredeaths.bsky.social, like other humanitarian aid groups in the region, exists as a response to the absolute dearth of medical and rescue services available for migrants. And this is not due to a lack of resources on the part of CBP; it is by design and a matter of policy

We spoke with @citationspod.bsky.social about bipartisan border violence, escalated anti-immigrant repression under Trump 2.0, and how communities are responding at the border and beyond.

In this News Brief, "Trump's Anti-Migrant Terror PR Strategy, Dr Phil's ICE Reality Show & NYT's MAGA Assist," we detail Trump's strategy of terrorizing migrant communities, how NYT is manufacturing a pro-mass deportation consensus and how activists are fighting back. with @nomoredeaths.bsky.social

Please help boost this fundraiser for our dear friends at the Chico Mendes Reforestation Project in Guatemala, and donate if you can. They need a new transmission for their truck. Anything helps! Link in post below. Thanks!

This Christmas, so many volunteers were out in the desert replenishing water and food supplies and tending to our aid station. As we move into the next administration, we are reminded of the strength of direct aid, and how many amazing volunteers and supporters we have to keep our work going.

Humanitarian aid volunteers are the backbone of our work across the borderlands. This medical training will cover the cost of a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) for 30 volunteers from different organizations across the borderlands. Donate!

“At least 1,107 people drowned crossing the Rio Grande between Texas and Mexico from 2017 to 2023, a figure significantly higher than has been previously reported.” New report from @lhreports.bsky.social, using data we obtained from CBP, on migrant drownings at the US/Mexico border in TX.

"In Texas, we documented 858 migrant drownings, while CBP, which is legally mandated to record migrant deaths, recorded 587 along the entire southwest border." Major new report on mass border death based in part on data obtained by @nomoredeaths.bsky.social. See: www.elpasomigrantdeathdatabase.org

Just this year we released a new report and interactive map to address the lack of compressive, transparent, and publicly accessible data on migrant deaths in the El Paso sector, now the deadliest crossing point for migrants in the US/Mexico borderlands:

Over the years we have done extensive research and documentation on the intentional crisis of death and disappearance by U.S. border enforcement agencies against migrants crossing through the borderlands. You can read our full reports here:

We have been rendering life saving humanitarian aid in the desert for 20 years now. Our team of volunteers leave supply drops out in remote parts of the desert, run a humanitarian aid station, document Border Patrol abuses, and operate a missing migrant hotline.

No More Deaths is a humanitarian aid group based in the southern Arizona borderlands, fighting for a world without borders, where no one is left to die in the desert!
