USA. Arizona. Sasabe. July 2024. Migrants from India who had just crossed the harsh and often violent Sonora desert to await US Border Patrol for processing exchange phone numbers with Tuscon Samaritan Gail Kocourek following a desert monsoon. Migrants who pay Mexican cartels for passage through “their” territory often suffering extortion, rape, and abandonment. Some are also subject to violence and intimidation of US-based militia groups who “tour” the region for asylum seekers. These men had just finished undertaking a trip that took three months.
