Feds: 69 illegal immigrants found at AZ drop house
PHOENIX - Federal authorities say 69 suspected illegal immigrants, including two children and an infant, have been rescued from a drop house in Phoenix.
A neighbor called police Tuesday and said he'd seen a pickup dropping off about 30 people Monday evening. Police say responding officers found the people inside the house and turned the case over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Detectives believed those inside were undocumented immigrants at a stop on their way from Mexico. ICE spokesman Vincent Picard says there were no reports of mistreatment, and no coyotes or human smuggling operatives were arrested.
