PHOENIX - Immigration officials took 22 undocumented immigrants and two smugglers into custody Tuesday after an anonymous caller reported people being held against their will in a house.
Phoenix police arrived at the house around 4:15 p.m. after getting a report that at least 10 people were being held at a house in the 8700 block of West Clarendon Avenue, Lt. Kelleigh Evans said. Immigration and Customs Enforcement took all two dozen people into custody. One weapon was also recovered at the house, Evans said.
