A new report from USA Today says official statistics underestimate the number of people who die crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. Last week the volunteer group No More Deaths released a video compilation of border patrol agents sabotaging what the group says is humanitarian work. The same day the video was released, a member of No More Deaths was arrested on charges of harboring people in the country illegally.

Here & Now's Robin Young speaks with Alicia Dinsmore, a No More Deaths volunteer.
