Helicopter looking for illegals part 1

Camping in Ironwood Forest National Monument, Arizona.

What happened? Due to the fact that around 30 or so illegal immigrants ran past my tent around 5am at night, at least one got arrested by Arizona cops (not border patrol). First, I heard coyotes... and saw SUV driving closer very fast. Oh great, coyote hunters... But then, lights started flashing... someone got out and yelled, "Get on the ground... put your hands on your head!". I didn't know what was going on. I was freaked out! I stayed inside the tent and didn't look up anymore. Meanwhile, I heard semi-running foot steps for at least 1 minute. My cousin missed it all. He was sound asleep inside car with windows rolled up.

After sunrise, a helicopter came out to hunt for more illegal immigrants.
