Phoenix Immigration and Customs Enforcement took 22 undocumented immigrants into custody Thursday morning after their van broke down on McClintock Drive and the U.S. 60.
When police arrived on the scene, the driver of the vehicle had fled, I.C.E. spokesman Vincent Picard said. Three of the undocumented immigrants were taken to the hospital, and Picard said many looked as if they had recently crossed the border because their feet were covered in blisters and cactus thorns.
He said the immigrants have been taken in for questioning and it is still unclear as to their country of origin.
