100 Migrants Found in Arizona Desert

Authorities searched this isolated desert region Wednesday after they discovered nearly 100 migrants who apparently had been left by smugglers — without drinking water — hiding in the brush.

The undocumented immigrants were discovered Tuesday afternoon by a deputy with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department. They emerged from the brush and pleaded for water, saying they had spent three days in triple-digit heat without any supplies. The immigrants reported that three people had died, but no bodies were found. Click here.
