The group brought in as much as $130,000 a week moving people from Naco, Mexico, to its center of operations in Phoenix and then to destinations across the United States, Phoenix police Lt. Vince Piano said Thursday.
Piano said the ring was believed to be one of the biggest operating in Arizona, the busiest illegal entry point into the country.
“It’s not the end of the game, but we believe we have made some very important intelligence directions in the fight against the smugglers,” said Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard, whose office was prosecuting the case.
