USA. Arizona. Sasabe region. July 2024. Abandoned migrant camp flooded by monsoon that had been set up on US side of the border wall by Samaritan groups providing food, water, and shelter to migrants who’d crossed the harsh and often violent Sonora desert to await US Border Patrol for processing. Migrants pay Mexican cartels for passage through “their” territory suffering extortion, rape and abandonment. Some are also subject to violence and intimidation of US-based militia groups who “tour” the region. The Tuscon Border Patrol oversees 229 miles of fence and 31 miles where terrain forms a natural boundary. Numbers of migrants seeking safety and a sustainable future had sky rocketed in recent years causing US presidential candidates from both parties to cater to a public sentiment for “stronger security” fueled by right-wing rhetoric. Passage on this hilly and rocky road is by 4 wheel drive.
