Migrants cross the Rio Grande River to surrender to Border Patrol agents from El Paso Sector after crossing from Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua state, Mexico, on May 4, 2023. Under the intense desert sun, among sand and brush, hundreds of migrants crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico on the rumor that the United States would let them in. But their hopes were dashed as they fell prey, once again, to misinformation. Falsehoods and deceptions add to the ordeal of these people, first to reach the border through Mexico and then to obtain asylum in the United States. (Photo by HERIKA MARTINEZ / AFP)
