6 dead due to heat at New Mexico border, officials say
(CNN) – Six people have died from heat-related causes in a New Mexico border community in the past week, and the local fire department believes they were migrants
Sunland Park’s fire chief said two people were pronounced dead on Wednesday.
They were discovered by border patrol officers in a desert area six miles from the border.
Authorities believe both were migrants that suffered heat injuries.
Four other suspected migrants had already been found dead from heat injuries since May 31.
Two of them were adult males, the other two adult females.
Sunland Park is next to El Paso, Texas, where Thursday’s temperature reached a high of 107 degrees.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The University of New Mexico plans to build new gates at four campus entrances along Central that will close nightly.
The gates will replace manual barriers in a project expected to cost about $1.5 million.
The Board of Regents approved the security upgrades for the UNM campus.
University officials said the gates will automatically close nightly from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
The gates will go in near Princeton Drive, Stanford Drive, Yale Boulevard and Terrace Street on the south end of campus.
A current rendering shows the gate completely blocking the road. Officials said the change will reduce unauthorized traffic and allow police officers to focus more effectively on prevention and response.
Construction will start in May. University officials hope to finish the project by September.
