'Suffocating heat': Body of US-bound migrant recovered at Mexico border

In the desert of the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua, near the US border, migrants are risking their lives attempting the desert crossing to the United States in extreme temperatures.

After the body of a migrant was recovered by Mexican civil protection officials, authorities are cautioning migrants to avoid the perilous journey.

At a Catholic church community kitchen for US-bound migrants Venezuelan Bilmari Karin recounts her journey: "It's a lot.

A lot of suffocating heat, there's the sand, you go through a lot of things in the desert."
