TONOPAH, Ariz. (AP) -- Authorities were searching a desert area about 50 miles west of Phoenix again early Wednesday after nearly 90 illegal immigrants were found a day earlier, many suffering from dehydration and exhaustion from triple-digit heat.
Seven immigrants and three sheriff's deputies were taken to hospitals for treatment, said Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Officers used a helicopter, canine units and all-terrain vehicles and conducted foot patrols to search for others believed to be in the area, officials said.
