A Maverick County, Texas, funeral home director is no longer accepting the bodies of migrants who died crossing the border, telling Breitbart News that his facility is beyond capacity.
The director of Memorial Funeral Home reported that he can no longer accept deceased migrants found in the Rio Grande or surrounding ranches, a Customs and Border Protection source told the news outlet’s Texas division.
The funeral home reportedly conducted a mass burial of at least 10 unidentified deceased migrants Thursday morning.
The director told Breitbart that the change in policy took effect on Thursday.
In the first nine months of fiscal year 2022, there were more than 670 migrant deaths, Breitbart Texas reported last week. Of those deaths, 60% died of drowning or exposure, while another 10% were discovered but the cause was not determined.
