DOUGLAS, Ariz. - Monday, Border Patrol agents out of the Douglas station took a group of 35 suspected illegal immigrants into custody, about 8 miles north of Douglas.

Turns out, Monday was a big day for the Border Patrol.

Earlier Monday, Border Patrol agents received a phone call from a concerned citizen regarding suspicious activity on the east side of Douglas.

Agents apprehended 10 illegal aliens inside of a home -- and the home didn't have running water or electricity.

Also Monday, agents from the Ajo station seized 674 pounds of marijuana. The 14 bundles of marijuana, worth $337,000, had been abandoned near the Organ Pipe National Monument.
