The pictures were taken at the Pima County morgue in Tucson, Arizona, which is located near one of the deadliest and most used stretches of the border.
Plastic bags are seen scattered across metal tabletops in the photos, complete with everything from cash, cellphones, photos, a belt buckle, and other personal items.
Other harrowing pictures showed the skeletal remains of people who died trying to cross the border from Mexico.
Bodies on shelves in refrigerators were also seen, along with a man wheeling a corpse into the morgue.
Earlier this year it was revealed more than 850 unidentified bodies were being kept in the morgue, and that most of those who ended up there died of thirst.
'Most of the remains that we call undetermined are likely people that have died from exposure… who may not have water available to use,' Pima County Chief Medical Examiner Dr Gregory Hess said in August.
