EMS officials arrived quickly and helped save the lives of the three migrants suffering from heat-related illnesses.
“Luckily no one lost their lives,” Owens tweeted. “Don’t put yourself in this situation. Your life is worth more!”
Life-saving migrant rescues are a regular occurrence in the summer heat in the Del Rio sector. Late last week, officers saved the life of another migrant suffering from heat stress at a ranch near Brackettville, Texas, Breitbart Texas reported.
The officers began providing emergency cooling measures and provided IV fluids to rehydrate the migrant. Chief Owens did not specify the migrant’s nationality.
An EMS crew arrived and transported the migrant to a hospital for evaluation and treatment.
Owens tweeted this week a warning to migrants about the dangers of being smuggled into the overwhelmed border patrol sector during the peak of summer heat in West Texas.
“As we are halfway through this very hot summer, high temperatures have taken their toll,” Owens tweeted. “Many suffer from heat-related illness, and unfortunately some die.”
“With all the signs of continued influx,” Owens added. “Don’t take this trip, don’t cross illegally and don’t trust a smuggler.”
A report published by US Customs and Border Protection reveals that border patrol officers rescued a record 14,278 migrants from October 1, 2021 through May 31, 2022. The number of rescues far exceeds the total of 12,833 migrant rescues in FY21. There are still four months left in the current financial year.
