Authorities say dozens of immigrants, including several teenagers, have been found at a stash house in southeastern New Mexico.
Authorities said Thursday that 67 Guatemalan and Ecuadorian immigrants were discovered earlier this week in Dexter by deportation officers and special agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The illegal aliens were cramped into an unfurnished and filthy 20-foot by 20-foot wooden shed in addition to a travel trailer. They were given minimal food and water.

The stash house in Dexter - about 230 miles northeast of the border city of El Paso, Texas.
Special agent Jack Staton described the conditions as deplorable.
There was no working toilet, and a sign was placed on the bathroom door that read in Spanish, 'Don't use the bathroom.'
Authorities say the location was being used by a smuggling organization and that the investigation is ongoing.
In a federal criminal complaint, 38-year-old Tomas Miguel Mateo of Guatemala is charged with harboring the immigrants and with unlawfully re-entering the United States after having been previously deported.
