Brooks County, Texas, has become a deadly landscape where thousands of immigrants have died on ranches. These deaths primarily occur as migrants attempt to circumvent the US Border Patrol's inland checkpoint, hiking through rugged and unforgiving ranch lands.

Ranchers in the area are divided in their response: some arm themselves against the influx of migrants, while others establish water stations in an effort to save lives.

However, as temperatures continue to rise and the humanitarian crisis deepens, the number of deaths has tragically reached an all-time high.
