1 Dead, 2 Naked in Illegal Immigrant Break-Ins

EL MIRAGE, Ariz. -- A normally quiet Phoenix-area neighborhood stirred to life Saturday as Maricopa County sheriff's deputies on the trail of undocumented immigrants discovered a body, several break-ins and two people in the nude all related to a tip on the controversial illegal immigrant hotline.

Deputies said they were doing surveillance in the area of 129th Avenue and Cherry Hills Drive in El Mirage when they got the call of someone trying to steal a car.

That turned into suspects hiding in bushes at a high school and then word of suspected drop house with a dead man inside.

"We have three people hiding out in a high school, a dead body and we have illegals all in this beautiful neighborhood," said neighbor Evelyn Matthews.

Matthews said she was prepared for the shock of what she heard and saw as the drama unfolded.

"I was in there watching the Cardinals game when all of the sudden I heard this boom," Matthews said.

When Matthews walked outside, she said she found a sheriff's SWAT team surrounding two homes in her normally quiet neighborhood.

"Supposedly someone from next door in a drop house broke into two houses down the street and they're hiding in them," Matthews said.

Jimmy Wren waited to hear if undocumented immigrants were still hiding out in his daughter's home while she was in Tucson.

We just put an alarm system in Friday," Wren said. "They broke into her house a week ago Friday."

Wren said a purse, a camera, a frozen chicken and some other little trinkets were stolen.

SWAT officers entered Wren's home first and then sent a robot and police dog into the two-story house next door, sheriff's deputies said.

Deputies said they had been tipped off they might find a man's body in the garage and two more people upstairs.

"They found a dead body that was beaten and shot and two others hiding with no clothes on," said Sheriff Joe Arpaio at the scene.

Deputies took four people into custody.

Arpaio credited the arrests to someone calling his undocumented migrant hotline to report the activity in the neighborhood.

"Why don't they come out here and see what illegal immigration does to a neighborhood," Arpaio said to critics of the hotline.

MSCO launched the controversial hotline in late July as a means to get tips about illegal immigration.

The victim is believed to be an undocumented immigrant, according to sheriff's investigators. Deputies said they are trying to unravel how the man died.

This really needs to go on our homepage

But this is all okay with people like Elias Bermudez, isn't it?

My husband and I don't live in Phoenix, we're further out, but we might just as well live in Phoenix for all the damage illegals have done to our area.

Right now, we're working on finishing the remodeling of our house and hope to be the hell out of here in a year. We're not raising our kids in this mess for one more day longer than we have to.

Arpaio Credits Hotline for Discovery of Homicide Victim

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is defending his illegal immigration hotline after the weekend discovery of a dead body and the arrest of several illegals at a drop-house in El Mirage.

"Isn't it great when citizens call in?" Arpaio said.

He says he's received several tips from El Mirage about possible illegal immigrants, including the home, Saturday, where police found a dead body.

"This is ... we're checking our records because the next door neighbor said she called our hotline about this house. So it may be this house that came to our hotline also."

Arpaio says critics take note: Saturday's round-up proves the hotline is working.

Why were 2 of them naked? Were they getting ready to rape someone?
The 1st question I'd be asking them is why are you naked?

Just think, if we could increase his jurisdiction we would all have have some people to call that cared!
