Last week we heard from a volunteer with the group No More Deaths, which provides water and supplies to people making the dangerous — and illegal — desert crossing into the U.S. along the border with Mexico. No More Deaths recently released a report claiming border patrol agents routinely sabotage what the volunteers call humanitarian efforts.

Here & Now's Robin Young speaks with Steven Passement, acting special operations supervisor in the U.S. Border Patrol's Tucson sector.

This segment aired on January 30, 2018.
