306 Central American Illegal Aliens Surrender To Border Patrol Near Tuscon -
TUCSON, Ariz. – A group of 306 Central Americans surrendered to Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents near the international border Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
On Wednesday, agents from the Ajo Border Patrol Station patrolling on the border 15 miles west of Lukeville found 242 migrants. On Thursday morning, agents from the Casa Grande Station patrolling the border on the Tohono O’odham Nation encountered a group of 64 migrants who gave themselves up.
Both groups were comprised of family units, to include juveniles and pregnant women, largely from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.
Border Patrol agents conducted an initial screening on site, which consisted of an interview and observation of the detainees to identify any health or safety issues requiring emergency evacuation. The initial screening identified one pregnant woman and four children requiring immediate care.
The five subjects were transported to a hospital in Goodyear, treated and released to Ajo Border Patrol Station agents for further processing. Subjects not requiring emergency medical attention were transported to Tucson for further processing and medical evaluation by Border Patrol paramedics.
In Tucson, an additional nine children, ages 1 to 13, were identified as having flu-like symptoms and were taken to a local hospital for further treatment.

Is a cure for Aids within reach? Scientists succeed in destroying HIV-infected cells in major breakthrough
Scientists announced a potential breakthrough in the fight against HIV/AIDS
Researchers at Paris' Institut Pasteur found a way to destroy infected cells
Currently HIV is treated with antiretroviral drugs which cannot remove the virus
Researchers claim to have found a way to eliminate infected 'reservoir' cells
Scientists have announced a potentially major breakthrough in the fight against HIV.
Researchers at Paris' Institut Pasteur claim they have successfully destroyed cells infected with the virus, which is typically treated with antiretroviral drugs.
The drugs are unable to remove the virus from the body, but medical journal Cell Metabolism yesterday published findings which announced that scientists had found a way to eliminate infected 'reservoir' cells.
In a news release uploaded to EurekaAlert, an Institut Pasteur spokesperson said: 'The antiretroviral treatment used today is designed to block HIV infection but it is not able to eliminate the virus from the body.
'The virus remains in reservoirs - the CD4 T lymphocyte immune cells, the main targets of HIV.'
HIV targets cells with high metabolic activity and 'hijacks' their energy in order to multiply.
The release later states: 'Thanks to metabolic activity inhibitors, the researchers have managed to destroy these infected cells, or "reservoirs", ex vivo.'
It concludes by stating that the research opens the possibility of new pathways towards remission by eliminating the 'reservoir' cells.
The next step in research will be assessing the potential of metabolic inhibitors 'in vivo' - tested on living organisms.
In theory, if the viral load is low enough, destroying the cell HIV hides in and draws energy from could keep it from spreading in the body and, perhaps, eradicate it altogether, it is hoped.
The study was funded by the Institut Pasteur, AmfAR (American Foundation for AIDS research) and Sidaction.
