Our Research

Our research addresses the humanitarian crisis of migrant deaths along the U.S.-Mexico border by improving documentation of migrant fatalities and access to forensic data. The M3P2 team collected, standardized, and mapped a multi-source dataset of migrant deaths on the U.S. side of the border using records from medical examiner and coroner offices. The M3P2 web portal enables users to explore and download these data, supporting research, humanitarian action, policymaking, and public engagement.
