“The Arizona Attorney Generals Office has been at least temporarily banned from freezing and confiscating Western Union money wires to suspected human smugglers in Mexico.

An order by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Kenneth Fields stymies a key enforcement tool used by state investigators in pursuit of suspected coyote rings that use wire transfers to receive smuggling fees. For several years, a state financial crimes unit has tracked and confiscated Western Union funds allegedly sent to coyotes holding illegal immigrants hostage at Valley drop houses. “
