The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office reports that at least a dozen undocumented immigrants have been detained after wandering near a US Air Force Base in southwestern Arizona Sunday.

Sheriff's deputies are working with border patrol agents and DPS officers in an effort to locate five to seven more undocumented immigrants who are believed to be in the area of the Barry M. Goldwater Range about 13 miles south of Gila Bend.

Two undocumented immigrants have died, likely from dehydration, according to MCSO.

The range, which is active with armed military aircraft, has been shut down as authorities search for other stranded immigrants.

Few details were made available Sunday afternoon.
