PHOENIX - The U.S. Border Patrol says agents working in southwestern Arizona found 91 suspected illegal immigrants in the desert near Ajo.
The latest group was found Tuesday and consists of 90 men and one woman. The Border Patrol says all are Mexican citizens.
Agents working remote desert areas apprehended the group by using a radar-based surveillance system to watch over wide areas of Arizona desert.
Last Saturday, Border Patrol agents, again using radar, spotted and tracked a large group of suspected illegal immigrants crossing a remote desert area near Ajo.
Agents then detained 71 men and five women.
The Border Patrol says it now has nearly 130 modern detection and surveillance systems of various kinds deployed in Arizona.
