Phoenix Cockfighting Bust Rounds Up 20 Illegal Aliens

Of course the story doen't note this in the headline, nor does it call them illegal aliens. No indication wehther they had "their papers" on them when they were busted Saturday at a cockfight in Phoenix.
A search by Maricopa County Sheriff's investigators into cockfighting in the West Valley on Saturday recovered drugs, weapons and cash, officials said Sunday.

MCSO deputies carried out a search warrant at Wintersburg and Baseline roads, near Tonopah, after they discovered an organized cockfighting event.

The search resulted in the arrest of 69 people into Fourth Avenue Jail on suspicion of being present at a cockfight, which is a Class 1 misdemeanor. Of those arrested, 20 were suspected illegal immigrants, the sheriff's office said.

Some of those arrested were wanted on outstanding warrants.

Investigators also towed 36 vehicles from the scene and recovered an unspecified number of weapons, drugs and cash, the sheriff's office said.
Yeah, but they're all just hard-working immigrants or something.

The Obama administration immediately offered an apology to China for this horrifc offense by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.
