TUCSON, Arizona -- U.S. Border Patrol agents raided a Rio Rico drop house Thursday and detained 62 illegal entrants. And in separate incidents since Wednesday evening, Border Patrol agents in the Tucson Sector seized more than four tons of marijuana, according to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection press release.
The drop house raid began when agents stopped a vehicle near Rio Rico, which is about 60 miles south of Tucson, a press release says. Five illegal entrants were arrested in the vehicle stop and when agents questioned the smuggler, they learned about a large number of illegal border crossers at a nearby house.
