A woman has died after falling from a US-Mexico border fence in San Diego, officials said.
The woman was found dead Friday around 2:30 p.m. local time near the Otay Mesa Port of Entry, San Diego Police told local outlets.
He plunged to his death while trying to climb a 30-foot-high fence.

Fatalities along the San Diego-Tijuana border have jumped 162% over the past three years, due in part to a 30-foot border fence built during the Trump administration, the Mexican Consulate in San Diego said.
“People are more and more dealing with traumatic life-changing injuries when they fall, and they hurt themselves, or death like in this woman’s case,” Pedro Rios, an immigration volunteer organizer, told KSWB-TV.

San Diego Sector Chief Patrol Agent Patricia McGurk-Daniel insisted last year to NBC 7 that the taller border fence is necessary because it not only deters immigrants, but also helps US border agents prepare for what’s on the other side.
“It’s a high fence so you don’t want to go over it, but it’s also high enough that our agents can see and see what’s going to happen to them,” he told the outlet at the time.
Hundreds of migrants converged on the San Diego border area this week to enter the United States, making it the largest group to arrive at the wall since the end of Title 42, NBC 7 reported.
