The United States Border Patrol said that it has detained a group of 95 Central Americans found gathered in the desert near Arizona's border with Mexico, including at least one infant.

As per a report by agents from the Ajo Station on Tuesday, the group was discovered inside the U.S. territory early Saturday about eight miles (almost 13 kilometers) west of the border crossing at Lukeville, Arizona.

The group was comprised of people from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador and ranged in age from 3 months to 60 years.

After being found to be in good well-being, they were turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for processing.

Temperatures in Arizona's southern desert region can be fatal, reaching 120 degrees (almost 49 Celsius) during the summer months.
