Texas county overwhelmed by 911 calls related to migrants: System is 'stretched to the limit'
Fox News
Maverick County Deputy Constable Frank Bowles joined "Fox & Friends" to share how his Texas community has been overwhelmed with an influx of 911 calls related to illegal immigrants.
Elizabeth Heckman is a digital production assistant with Fox News.
"We're averaging about 3,000 coming across on a daily basis. And our 911 system is constantly being pushed to the limit here locally, answering calls for service, dealing with the migrants from the community, a lot of them coming into the neighborhoods, wandering around, knocking on doors at one or two in the morning," he told Katie Pavlich.
He said "90% of the calls coming in are due to the high number of migrants crossing the border here." Bowles said response times have slowed for other matters, like domestic incidents or vehicle accidents.
