PHOENIX — Last week, 204 people were charged with illegal immigration activity, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona.
Federal entities including U.S. Border Patrol, ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the FBI either “referred or supported” cases that featured 107 aliens who illegally entered the U.S., according to a Friday press release from the office.
Prosecutors also said there were 83 cases of people who illegally re-entered the U.S. and 14 cases involving individuals who were charged with smuggling migrants in Arizona.
What immigration-related cases were highlighted this week?
One case involving illegal border crossing was filed on Wednesday. It ended with a 46-year-old Mexican national being sentenced to 46 months in prison for conspiracy to encourage and induce a to noncitizen to unlawfully enter the U.S.
That national, Ivan Mauricio Hernandez-Mosqueda, was charged with coordinating the smuggling of over 100 undocumented migrants from an undefined date in 2023 to May 2024, prosecutors said. He allegedly instructed them to falsely claim that they were asylum seekers.
Another case involved illegal border crossings was made official on Tuesday.
This second case involved a man who was arrested for the transportation of illegal aliens, prosecutors said.
Gabriel Santiago-Ramirez was stopped by Border Patrol agents while driving an SUV on the Interstate 40 near Kingman. Authorities found three noncitizens who were in the country illegally in the vehicle, prosecutors said.

These arrest are clearly the result of real Presidential leadership. The return of America first is replacing the misguided and dangerous lack of enforcement from the previous pResisident.
The failed policies of the unhinged looney loser left-wing wackadoddle nutcases are coming to an abrupt end.
America voted for change and long overdue change is definitely coming.
Lets see. It is estimated that there are around 350,000 undocumented individuals in Arizona.
At the rate of 200 x week, ICE will arrest everyone in 1,175 weeks or 22.6 years.
Way to go.
"you serious Clark?"
For one, just do a Google Search for "California Benefits for Undocumented Immigrants." (I would post a link but KTAR does not seem to like links).
Illegal immigrants were given housing in hotels and debit cards. They are given access to Emergency Healthcare. Undocumented immigrants have the right to attend Public Schools (another Google search), who is picking up the tab for their attendance??
California, New York and Illinois are doing all that they can for illegal individuals. in-state tuition, state financial aid, drivers licenses and Health Benefits for Immigrant Adults.
Again, "you serious Clark?"
