   Some good news! Got word this afternoon through one of the desert aid groups I work with in southern Arizona that the Peruvian Embassy had contacted two of the Latino-lead SAR groups to look for a 25-year-old woman who had last been heard from on Tuesday. Temperatures in the desert out there are in the 90s, which is thankfully low for this time of the year.

   Some searchers mobilized rapidly. As they were in the process of contacting the land owner today for access to do a search — that usually ends up being a remains recovery — they got word that Border Patrol had found her alive!

     Migrants risk robbery and physical violence at the hands of the cartels who they pay to get them to and then across the border. Then they have to cross the desert. If they survive that ordeal, they now run the risk of being sent to a detention camp indefinitely before being deported.

     No one does this lightly. No one gives up their entire life and takes these kinds of risks casually. People who attempt this journey are out of options. No one does this lightly.

     All the walls in the world will not stop people seeking to survive in this one life we all get. People have always migrated. Migration is a human right.
