"Last year I paid a coyote organization $2,000, and that's what finally got me into Arizona," he says as he sits in a detention pen near Minatitlan, facing deportation back to his country. "But then they just left me in the desert. I had to be saved by U.S. immigration officials, who deported me." What's more, violence between rival smuggling cells is on the rise: three coyotes were killed in an Arizona parking...
