Tucson, Ariz.—Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended a group of 46 illegal aliens near Naco, Arizona.  


Early Sunday morning the Naco Border Patrol Station received a call from a concerned citizen about a group of 20 to 30 individuals running through their yard. Border Patrol agents responded to the area and discovered 46 illegal aliens near the corner of Pintek Road and Chandler Lane.  The illegal aliens were taken into custody and processed for removal from the United States.

Since October 1, 2007, the Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents have arrested more than 281,000 illegal aliens-a 16% decrease from the same time period a year ago. 

The Border Patrol encourages anyone to report suspicious activity by calling 1-877-USBP-HELP.
