According to the Los Angeles Times, 60 illegal immigrants were discovered in a cramped “drop house” at a Riverside home.  According to the immigrants, they were smuggled in small groups across the Arizona desert.  Immigration officials report that they allegedly paid smugglers between $4500 and $6000 for a “guided” package that covered their movement to Los Angeles and a one-way commercial flight to the East Coast.

Two men have been arrested for smuggling these illegal immigrants.  They were caught after being spotted outside the Pleasant Street house in Riverside and appeared to be serving as outlooks.  The illegal immigrants are from Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Mexico.
