The story comes when the war against migrants continues under Trump and the president has issued a hair -raising warning to illegal immigrants and urged them to leave the US on their own will.
Migration remains an urgent issue all over the world and was emphasized as one of the deadliest performance, while travelers take desperate measures to cross boundaries for greener meadows.
Last year the deadliest ever was registered for migrants, with nearly 9,000 people who die worldwide, according to the United Nations.
“At least 8,938 people died on migration routes in 2024, the fifth year that figures have reached record highs, said the UN migration agency on Friday.
“The tragedy of the growing number of deaths by migrants worldwide is both unacceptable and prevented,” said Ugochi Daniels, the deputy director of the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
“Behind each song is a person, someone for whom the loss is devastating,” said Daniels.
“The actual number of deaths and disappearances of migrants is probably much higher, because many have become undocumented because of the lack of official sources,” said the Iom.

Attempts to cross boundaries have gone as far as getting dressed as patrol officers or for Tren de Aragua, one of the most notorious dangerous gangs that infiltrate America, it means free itself from characteristic tattoos.
However, the body markings can disappear quickly, because the leadership of the criminal organization now warns its members to stop getting the ink that announces them to the authorities.
Federal Law Enforcement Sources confirm to DailyMail.com The fact that the Aragua leadership is already carrying the Aragua leadership.
The tattoos of Tren de Aragua have become a flash point in recent days – because the Trump administration leaned heavily on skin markings to Venezuelan migrants as gangsters and they deport to a supermax prison in El Salvador.
President Donald Trump justified the deportations, who did not follow the normal legal proceedings in which judges sign that every person removed from the US, using the controversial alien enemies act.
Since American courts decide whether Trump is even legally able to apply the law to Venezuelan migrants, his accusations surfaced that the few deportees were wrongly accused of tren to be the Aragua by tattoos that were suspected for the insignia of the gang.
“Now we see the fact that they don't get tattoos because they are aware that this is an identification for us,” Tim Sullivan, the most important patrol agent for Special Operations in US Border Patrol, told El Paso Station KFOX TV.

A suspected TDA gangster arrested in El Paso, Texas. This suspected gangster even had the meaningful signs of the criminal organization, such as the Clock Tattoo on his chest
TDA, known as incredibly adaptive and organized, issued the body's ban on the body after the members with Border Patrol and other federal agencies had dealt with in the US.
“They try to learn as much from us as we learn from them, and that is what also made them a certain point, a difficult target to assess,” FBI explained John Morales in the leadership of El Paso.
The number of migrants in ice detention was at the beginning of February at 39,238 and two weeks later, that figure increased to 41,169 total prisoners, according to the latest figures of immigration authorities.
In the first two weeks of February, ICE held more than 1,800 migrants with criminal convictions or with pending criminal prosecution against them.
This represents 59 percent of the total number of illegal immigrants who are in kingfare from the beginning of February until the middle of the month, according to data obtained by NBC News.
In the meantime, the other 41 percent of the 4,422 illegal immigrants brought into the custody of ice this month are not criminals.
Trump's position is that all migrants in the US are without documentation criminals because they have arrived illegally or have stayed illegally in the country.
The president has now become 'nuclear' on the migrant crisis by having the army take control of the 'buffer zone' at the southern border with Mexico.
The president offered a hair -raising warning to all migrants and told them that they should leave the country themselves or 'never have to be admitted to the United States again, never again – you will never come in'
Trump's ambitious plan would convert the 60-foot deep buffer zone into a military installation on the border and enable our troops to keep migrants temporarily crossing the America.
A defense officer told the Washington Post that the migrants would be held until it was legally held by civil law enforcement.
Now the Homeland Security team of Trump is reportedly set up to announce plans to take more control over the partition in a New Mexico section.
If the original plan is called a success by the administration, officials believe that the zone would eventually extend to the west to California.
The designation would enable the Pentagon to use resources of its enormous budget of $ 800 billion on the border appearance.
The army is largely forbidden by the federal law of many law enforcement tasks by the Posse Commitatus Act.
Trump has completed the law during his second term by using customs and border patrol (CBP) or immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) to retain migrants and then move them.
The Pentagon seeks the Council for the Council about whether or not this can cause legal problems.
A legal theory for how this would work is the comparison of migrants who enter the buffer zone with entering a military basis.
'It is very, very careful with that formulation. It is not 'detention', because once you go into detention, it has the connotations to hold on to arrest. This is for civil law enforcement, “said a defense officer.
