Introduction:
A Crisis of Disappearance

In this introduction, meant for all three sections of the report, we explain this crisis of death and disapperances on the Us-Mexico border and the policies that have created it.  This serves to set the scene for the following reports which open a window to violent Border Patrol practices.

Part 1:
Deadly Apprehension Methods: The Consequences
of Chase and Scatter in the Wilderness
​
In this first report, we find that people who cross the border and are never seen again do not merely go missing, they are disappeared by the US border-enforcement system. Using surveys from Nogales and data from Derechos's Missing Migrant Crisis Line, we find that the Border Patrol routinely chases border crossers into remote terrain causing them to scatter, become lost, and often die or disappear.
