PHOENIX (AP) - A human smuggling ring responsible for arranging transportation for thousands of illegal immigrants has been broken up with the indictments of 14 people who worked in travel agencies, officials announced Thursday.
Six travel agencies were responsible moving at least 6,800 people since 2005, Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard said.
In addition to the 14 owners or employees of the agencies who were indicted, two people who ran "drop houses" were charged.
"This case underscores our increased commitment to investigate and prosecute human smuggling in Arizona," Goddard said.
