Phoenix Police and Department of Public Safety officers found at least a dozen undocumented immigrants and three human smugglers at a west Phoenix home. A DPS official said officers also found weapons in the home near 31st Avenue and Van Buren Street Monday afternoon. There is no word on how long the victims had been held in the home, or if there are any injuries. Stay with ABC15.com as more information becomes available.

MISSION -- Police busted a stash house Tuesday after a Honduran woman said she was sexually assaulted there. Officers raided the house -- at 2113 Sierra Court, near Mission Veterans Memorial High School on Mile 2 North and N. Mayberry Ave. -- about 11:25 a.m. Police had found the woman wandering along a nearby road in the wee hours earlier that morning. Police pulled over to see if she was OK and she told them she had been sexually assaulted at the brick house, Mission police spokesman Lt. Martin Garza said. The house likely sheltered illegal immigrants traveling north, he...

A woman who sneaked into Houston this week after hiking miles through one of the most brutally hot and deadly stretches of the U.S.-Mexico border is frantic for help, but scared to ask for it. While evading U.S. Border Patrol checkpoints in South Texas, she left behind the body of another woman who collapsed and died, perhaps from a scorpion sting or snake bite. The woman, who gave her name as Karina and insisted on anonymity, said she tried to help her friend walk when they fell far behind a larger group led by a smuggler. Now she is carefully...

A group of Brazilians has been resuced from five smugglers holding them captive in Mission. Acting on an anonymous tip, officers responded to the 800 block of Dawson Street Wednesday afternoon. Mission Police Chief Leo Longoria said 15 Brazilians immigrants had been at the home for 14 days. The immigrants told authorities that the alleged smugglers demanded more cash for their release. Longoria said Mission police arrested five men. They are all facing unlawful restraint charges.

Agencies, expert unite in an attempt to control nuisance animals in the Brooks community in Estero; attack was fourth on dogs since March. “For the past three months, I thought: ‘Coyotes in Florida. Yeah, right,’” Love said. “I had never seen a coyote, not even in any zoo in Florida and I’ve been here 27 years.” But, with the newfound respect for the wild animal, she was quick to add, “We’re on their territory.” And, she says people didn’t start noticing coyotes in the area until alligators were removed from a lake on the property. She believes the alligators snagged...

Victim turns killer? The whereabouts of Jack Berry, missing since February, may be solved. His son, Jeremiah Berry, has been charged with his fathers death. He said he shot him in the head, stabbed him 199 times, skinned him, cut him up and fed his flesh to the coyotes. Why would a son turn so viciously on his father? Jeremiah Berry has said that he was a victim first. His father Jack Berry allegedly told Jeremiah that God told him that his son (Jeremiah) should get a sex change and become his wife

"Their aggressive behavior seems to be on the upswing," said Steve Martarano, a spokesman with the state Department of Fish and Game. "They just seem to lose their fear of humans." Since the 1970s, more than 100 coyote attacks on humans in Southern California have been recorded, with half the incidents involving children age 10 and younger. "If they see a young child and they have a chance, yeah they'll take it," said Kevin Brennan, a state wildlife biologist. Game wardens don't normally hunt coyotes unless they pose a threat to people. After attacks, they trap and then shoot coyotes....

LAKE ARROWHEAD, Calif. — A coyote grabbed a 2-year-old girl by the head and tried to drag her from the front yard of her mountain home in the third incident of a coyote threatening a small child in Southern California in five days, authorities said. The coyote attacked the girl around noon Tuesday when her mother, Melissa Rowley, went inside the home for a moment to put away a camera, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said in an incident report. Rowley came out of the house and saw the coyote dragging her daughter towards a street. She ran towards...

LA JOYA - Dramatic police chases with illegal immigrant-crammed trucks are common place in this small city. That pursuit, however, has often ended in dangerous chases with the desperate human smugglers widely known as coyotes. Again on Tuesday, just east of La Joya, a coyote led Peñitas police on an early morning chase that crossed four cities and ended in a crash after the driver refused to pull over for erratically changing lanes on Expressway 83. Four Honduran illegal immigrants were taken to the hospital with broken bones and other minor injuries after the vehicle they were traveling in blew...

LORETITO, Mexico — It's the end of the day here. Down one lonely street two young boys kick a ball between them, as an elderly woman slowly makes her way nearby. On most days, this little town about 300 miles northwest of Mexico City feels like the set of a Hollywood movie — its narrow streets and alleyways silent, stark, deserted. From the sidewalk outside his small liquor shop, Edmundo Cruz takes in the vast emptiness, pointing out one house after another left vacant when families headed north — to Seattle. It is said more Loretito people now live in...

MISSION - A police chase Wednesday morning that ended with a mother and her two young children in a canal underscored yet again the danger human smugglers pose to motorists. Authorities reported no serious injuries, but the crash near Farm-to-Market Road 495 and North Stewart Road illustrated the challenges coyotes pose to the officers charged with catching them. Mission police started the chase on westbound FM 495 after a man driving a truck ran a red light near Stewart, Mission police Chief Leo Longoria said. The man refused to pull over and turned north onto Bryan Road and then drove...

18 illegal immigrants in van in path of 18-wheeler RACHAL - U.S. Border Patrol agent Adam Ruiz had to act fast as the van full of illegal immigrants veered into the path of a hurtling 18-wheeler. Should he pursue the vehicle's driver, who bailed out on the shoulder of U.S. 281 and left the van's gear in drive? Or chase down the van and its occupants as they edged closer and closer into oncoming traffic? In seconds, Ruiz sprang into action. The eight-year agency veteran bolted toward the moving vehicle, leaped through the passenger side door and steered the vehicle...

McALLEN - Human smugglers are employing increasingly risky and dangerous methods to transport illegal immigrants since security tightened along the U.S.-Mexico border, law enforcement officials said. "They're getting less area they can successfully enter," said Oscar Saldaña, a U.S. Border Patrol spokesman. "That's why were seeing more of these desperate acts. And unfortunately, we anticipate there's going to be more of these types of events." On Thursday a Ford F-150 carrying more than 20 illegal immigrants collided with another vehicle on Expressway 83 in Peñitas, leaving three dead and another 14 injured. They were the latest victims of what appears...

A wild chase involving illegal immigrants ends in a massive fire and over a dozen suspected aliens scattering from the scene. The blaze sparked up right off Saratoga near Greenwood. The chase actually began near Farm Road 43 and State Highway 286 around seven o'clock Wednesday night. The pick up ran a stop sign which triggered the chase. Fifteen People in all were crammed into the pick up truck. The chase eventually ended in a field near Greenwood when the truck ignited a massive brush fire. Three people were apprehended including the driver and a fourteen year old boy. The...

A jackrabbit found throughout much of the West has disappeared from the Yellowstone area, although the reason why remains a mystery, a new study concludes. Whatever the cause, the study suggests the white-tailed jackrabbit's disappearance has wrought major changes to Yellowstone's food chain. Coyotes and wolves, which could have depended on the rabbit as a significant food source, apparently turned their attention instead to larger prey including young elk, pronghorn antelope -- even domestic livestock. However, because the rabbit's decline went relatively unnoticed until now, quantifying that shift is virtually impossible, said the study's lead author, Joel Berger with the...

LA JOYA, Texas — A man driving a car full of suspected illegal immigrants lost his ear as he tried to flee from police. The 22-year-old Mexican national had turned into a brushy field from a farm-to-market road Sunday when he tried to open the door and jump from the car, said Joe Cantu, a La Joya police spokesman. The car door bounced against a tree and slammed shut on the man's head, cleanly severing his ear, police said. Police and Border Patrol agents found four of the six passengers who fled the car after it came to a stop....

STOLEN PICKUPS Cartels swipe rugged Ford F-250s, F-350s in state for smuggling drugs and humans Houston entrepreneur Bill Christmann was shocked when thieves stole his souped-up black Ford F-250 pickup from his west Houston driveway one night last July. But shock turned to concern the next day after Christmann learned thieves had driven the 2001, heavy-duty, four-wheel drive truck to Laredo, loaded it with illegal immigrants and drove it back from the border, roaring off-road through fenced ranch pastures. Police chased the truck south of San Antonio before the smugglers crashed the vehicle into a tree. The smugglers escaped, and...

Three coyotes have tested negative for rabies after three children were attacked last week in southern Alberta. Fish and Wildlife officers caught and tested the animals after three children were attacked in Canmore, Alta., which is about 100 kilometres west of Calgary. "Parents will probably feel relieved," ... The coyote first bit another 10-year-old boy on the leg. Skaters scared the animal away, but it returned and bit Ethan's jacket... Canmore residents are still on the alert because the attacks were strange behaviour for coyotes, who usually avoid people, said Darcy Whiteside, a spokesman for Alberta Sustainable Resource Development.

Editor’s Note: Women are active participants, and often the masterminds, behind the world’s third most lucrative illegal activity, after gun and weapons: people smuggling. In a four-part investigative series for the Spanish-language newspaper La Opinión, reporter Claudia Núñez uncovers the lives of women involved in the human trafficking business in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California. “Gaviota” (not her real name) has six phones that don’t stop ringing. Her booming business produces net profits of more than $50,000 a month. She has dozens of customers lining up for her in a datebook stretching three months ahead. Gaviota is not exactly...

Got a tip? Authorities urge anyone with information on the whereabouts of suspect Esteban Martinez to contact the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office at (956) 668-8477. EDINBURG — Jorge Luis Gonzalez Ramirez and Eduardo Talavera Jimenez thought they could escape powerful enemies in Mexico by fleeing to Houston. Instead, they ended up shot and left for dead. On Tuesday, authorities charged Jose Luis Benavidez Lopez, 35, of McAllen, with accepting money to kill the Mexican nationals. But it remains a mystery who exactly ordered the hit and what prompted the Nov. 1 attack that killed Ramirez and critically injured Jimenez, said...

ICE: Man guided immigrants to stash house where they were held for ransom McALLEN — For more than two years, Maximo Castillo-Jimenez sent countless undocumented immigrants to stash houses where they were locked up and held for ransom. On Tuesday, he began his own 12 years of court-ordered confinement. The 28-year-old Mexican national, who Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents once described as the top coyote operating in Miguel Alemán, Tamps., was sentenced to 151 months — more than 12 1/2 year — in federal prison for his role in one of the Rio Grande Valley’s largest human smuggling rings. “I...

A "coyote" who used the assistance of a Customs and Border Protection agent to facilitate trafficking illegal immigrants was sentenced Tuesday in federal court to time already served.Enrique Aguilar-Rios, a Mexican citizen, pleaded guilty in March to bringing undocumented immigrants into the U.S. He had faced a sentence of three-to-10 years in prison, but visiting U.S. District Judge Donald E. Walter ruled the time Aguilar had already served while awaiting sentencing was sufficient, and sentenced him to three years of supervised release. Aguilar had been held without bond since his arrest in January. Two additional charges of bringing undocumented immigrants...

The USCCB Committee on Migration sent a delegation to the U.S./Mexico border region to study the plight of unaccompanied minors and human trafficking victims. The ever-growing problems with these populations are some of the gravest and many times most overlooked symptoms of the broken and out-dated immigration system currently employed by the United States. The delegation met with a broad cross-section of agencies and individuals involved with or knowledgeable of these populations to gain critical insights and to understand their needs. The delegation also met with Church officials, government officials, community-based organization, and other with important perspectives. Programs established to...

For years, the vast majority of politicians in the main parties have avoided having honest public conversation about the extent and consequences of immigration. The fear of appearing racist, or giving any ground to the arguments of the far right, has left most MPs and commentators in Pollyanna territory - extolling the economic and cultural benefits of immigration and glossing over problems. That has done the nation no favours, because the consequences of rapid social change have been scarcely studied, let alone addressed. And it has increased many people's distrust of the political universe, as the gulf between their own...

Democrats’ DREAM Act is a Nightmare By Fred Thompson Coyotes are the men who prey on illegal aliens, helping illegal immigrants return to the U.S. over our southern border, sometimes after these immigrants have been deported, two, even three or more times. Apparently our Democratic friends in Congress have learned a thing or two from the “coyotes,� because just when we’d thought we’d sent the illegal-immigrant amnesty bill packing (at least for this year), Congress has ignored the public’s wishes and is trying to sneak what amounts to another amnesty bill through. After several false starts Sen. Dick Durbin...

EL PASO, Texas — U.S. Border Patrol officials and their Mexican law enforcement counterparts have launched a new effort to investigate and dismantle human smuggling organizations in the El Paso area. This latest effort will be more proactive, with Mexican authorities using a two-year-old database of suspected human smugglers to help break up smuggling rings on both sides of the border, Border Patrol spokesman Doug Mosier said. "Operation Lifeguard" is an expansion of previous efforts to that focused specifically on extraditing and prosecuting human smugglers, he said. Socorro Cordova, a spokeswoman for the Mexican Consulate in El Paso, said the...

Wary customers at North Valley grocery stores keep a watchful eye after several shoppers were recently threatened by three brazen coyotes. The animals were killed after they were trying to snatch white grocery bags from customers at a Fry's supermarket at Tatum Road and Cave Creek Road. "Coyotes are very smart animals," said Kriselle Colvin with Arizona Game & Fish. "Once they know where food source is, they know white bags have food in them, so they'll go up and grab them," Colvin said. One of the biggest reasons for the problem is well-meaning people feeding them, Colvin said. In...

Violent crime along the U.S.-Mexico border, which has long plagued the scrubby, often desolate stretch, is increasingly spilling northward into the cities of the American Southwest. In Phoenix, deputies are working the unsolved case of 13 border crossers who were kidnapped and executed in the desert. In Dallas, nearly two dozen high school students have died in the last two years from overdoses of a $2-a-hit Mexican fad drug called "cheese heroin." The crime surge, most acute in Texas and Arizona, is fueled by a gritty drug war in Mexico that includes hostages being held in stash houses, daylight gun...

Middle class wants to escape drug cartels, corrupt authorities Manuel Lanveros could have come to Canada through normal immigration channels as a skilled immigrant. Instead, the Mexican citizen simply hopped on a plane and asked for refugee asylum here because, he says, he couldn't afford to risk his life on the two-year wait. An architect with 15 years of experience, Lanveros represents a new wave of Mexican refugees who contradict the desperate day-labourer stereotype: educated, upper-middle-class professionals who claim corrupt authorities are failing to protect them from drug cartels, abusive spouses or gay bashers. According to the Immigration and Refugee...

San Francisco officials posted warnings in Golden Gate Park on Sunday after the first known coyote attack in the city in decades, when a pair of the wild canines charged two leashed dogs on a small path in the park. "We're taking this very seriously," said Deb Campbell, spokeswoman for the San Francisco Animal Care and Control Department. "We have officers looking for the coyotes, and we are letting the public know about these coyotes." The attack occurred about 9 a.m. Saturday, when a woman was walking her two large dogs along a path just south of Speedway Meadow near...

McALLEN — A couple was sentenced Friday to about five years in prison each for running a large-scale human smuggling operation. U.S. District Judge Ricardo Hinojosa sentenced Hortensia Sanchez-Rodriguez and Emilio Anguiano-Santoyo to 60 and 63 months, respectively, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney’s office in Houston. The statement goes on to say that the couple was responsible for smuggling about 250 illegal immigrants from Miguel Alemán to Roma and arranging their transport to Houston during a period from March 2004 to September 2005. The court docket reads that there was evidence through recorded telephone conversations that the...

In the past year, the U.S. government took strong measures to seal the border with Mexico, deploying 6,000 National Guard troops, sharply increasing the size of the Border Patrol, and installing new detection equipment and barriers. Around the time these measures were being implemented, the number of arrests at the border began to fall. The U.S. Border Patrol reported this year that arrests are down 10 percent from last year. Advocates of tougher enforcement point to these facts and say the policy is working, that the crackdown is deterring would-be illegals. But Dawn McLaren, research economist at the W. P....

Five-year-old Brayden Gazette was crossing a neighbor's lawn near his Monmouth County home last month when a coyote burst out of the pine woods and bit him on the head. Twenty-month-old Liam Sadler was in a relative's backyard in April when a coyote grabbed him by the neck and tried to drag him off. The rare daylight coyote attacks on humans were interrupted before the yellow-eyed beasts could kill. Nevertheless, brazen coyotes have rattled residents across North Jersey's Monmouth and Bergen Counties, where scores of sightings have been reported and where numerous pets have been killed or mauled this spring....

The handful of coyotes that call the Presidio home are still happy, healthy and wild for one main reason: They still fear humans. Experts hope that will be the case for the timid animals now living in Golden Gate Park and Bernal Heights. There has been a flurry of coyote sightings in The City in the last few days, and officials are hoping to quickly educate the public before a rare opportunity turns sour. Experts say it’s possible for coyotes and humans to coexist, as the animals pose no threat to humans who leave them alone. “It’s our job as...

Hello, Everyone - First, I would like to thank all of you who made it to the April Watch, especially those who stayed all month. We were very effective and have seen a great improvement in law enforcement's attitude towards us. Some of the highlights of the watch are as follows: We took down 3 major coyotes. We had a complex hide in a high traffic area that we decided to work for 24 hours, but saw no traffic. Knowing this area was usually busy with traffic, my partner Woody and I decided to give it another 6 hours, beginning...

Nevada measure targets human trafficking Tucson, Arizona | Published: 04.12.2007 CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — A state Assembly panel voted Wednesday for a bill targeting "coyotes" who smuggle people into the United States after hearing attorneys general from both Nevada and Arizona describe widespread problems such as beatings and rapes of victims and violence between rival smugglers. AB383, by Assemblywoman Marilyn Kirkpatrick, D-North Las Vegas, was endorsed by Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto and her Arizona counterpart, Terry Goddard, during an Assembly Commerce and Labor Committee hearing. The bill, which is similar to an Arizona law approved in 2005,...

Millions of migrants have crossed illegally from Mexico into the United States. Their experience could hardly be more real. But now at a controversial theme park in Mexico, tourists can pretend to be an illegal migrant. Torch, check. Heavy boots, check. Willingness to hide under bushes, check. Ability to see in the dark, an advantage. Preparation for what, you might think? A hike across Dartmoor? Try a night out in a theme park. But when I say theme park, do not think Alton Towers or Disneyland. Think, instead, illegal migrants. Because now you can pretend to be an illegal migrant...

Police Warn Residents To Keep Children And Pets Indoors Image Hazel Sanchez Reporting NORWOOD, N.J.

"The kids were in the backyard a few days ago, and I was sitting on the deck watching them and there were three coyotes watching my...

SAN DIEGO - Toughened U.S. border enforcement has prompted substantially more illegal immigrants to hire smugglers to help them cross over from Mexico — and competition among sophisticated criminal networks for customers has spawned violence and sometimes death. The evidence is abundant in border boomtowns, where human traffickers rustle together flocks of immigrants for the journey north. Further evidence comes from tens of thousands of interviews of illegal border crossers in surveys by a Mexican government-funded research institution, which were analyzed by The Associated Press. "What was once a discretionary expense has now become a necessity," said Jorge Santibanez, who...

When a man and his dog dashed into the house with a rabid coyote on their heels, his wife slammed the door on the coyote's neck. Craig S. Luckenbill said Thursday that he ran to get his 12-gauge shotgun, and his wife managed to close the door, but the coyote continued biting at the door and the front of the house. The coyote was in the front yard when Luckenbill went out and killed it with the shotgun, he said. "I'm a hunter but I've never seen anything like that." The Pennsylvania Game Commission confirmed Wednesday that the 40-pound eastern...

National Guard troops, new technology and more Border Patrol agents are all part of the effort to crack down on undocumented immigration. But is the strategy really working? To find out, KENS 5 returned to Las Chepas, a small Mexican border town used as a staging ground for smugglers. When KENS 5 visited the town last summer, busloads of people were arriving to cross illegally — so many that the governor of New Mexico, just across the border, declared a state of emergency. Now, National Guard troops are building vehicle barriers along a lonely stretch of border near this tiny...

Yuma, Arizona, Jun 19 (EFE).- "Coyotes," or people smugglers, operating along the U.S.-Mexico border have doubled the prices they charge to get illegal immigrants across the Arizona desert since the arrival of the National Guard. People smugglers are now charging between $3,000 and $4,000 per person for a desert crossing from the town of Altar, in Mexico's Sonora state, up from $1,200 to $1,500 at the beginning of the year. The fee for children is the same as for adults. "I didn't think they'd be charging so much," Vicente Lopez, an emigrant from the state of Michoacan waiting in the...

SAN LUIS RIO COLORADO, Mexico - Smugglers in sunglasses and muscle shirts reclined on withering patches of grass in a tree-covered plaza, blending into clusters of migrants and offering them "safe" trips into the United States. But on this sweltering day, there were no takers. None of the Mexicans hoping to reach the United States could pay the $3,000 the smugglers demanded to hide them in a car and drive them across the border, a trip that just weeks ago cost $2,000. The sharp increase in smugglers' fees is due to the arrival of National Guard troops at the border...

As the United States Senate and President George Bush try to come to some understanding of what is needed to properly address the illegal entry of non-resident aliens to the United States, for the 12 to 20 million illegal aliens already residing in the U.S., the issue of existing false documentation has yet to be honestly addressed.But proposed legislation in the Senate leading to a path of legal residency and ultimately citizenship for those illegal aliens presently residing in the U.S. would involve presentation of proof of identity and length of residency. The problem will be whether or not the...
