Frantic 911 calls spark local search for tanker carrying undocumented, potentially endangered immigrants The calls were made Monday, and Sheriff Javier Salazar said the tanker could be anywhere by now.

SAN ANTONIO — Local investigators are searching for a white tanker apparently full of dozens of potentially endangered immigrants after a man called Bexar County emergency dispatchers on Monday, claiming they were trapped and endangered. The immigrants are believed to be undocumented.

On the emergency 911 call, the man speaks in Spanish and claims their oxygen is running out, adding that they’re in a tanker made to carry water. In the background, audible distress from others can also be heard.

The unidentified man later tells dispatchers that he isn’t sure where they are in San Antonio, but then the call drops.

According to Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar, BCSO used cell phone tower triangulation to determine the truck may have been on I-35 near Fisher Road. In audio records, dispatchers can be heard saying: “Be on the lookout for a white-colored 18-wheeler/tanker, followed by a black Chevy truck.”

KENS 5 obtained surveillance video from a business near Von Ormy in which a white tanker can be seen following a black pickup truck before pulling over to the shoulder. Salazar believes it might be the tanker authorities are looking for.

"This truck could be here locally, or it could be in another part of the country by now," he said. "We just don't know."

The sheriff called the 911 calls disturbing.

"These smugglers don't care," he said. "They cram these people in, because the more people they get in, the more it increases their bottom line. But (as far as) the victims themselves, I just want to know if they are alive and accounted for."

Investigators with the Department of Homeland Security provided KENS 5 with the following statement:

“Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) is looking into an incident along with local law enforcement partners regarding a possible human smuggling event. No further details can be released at this time since the matter remains ongoing.”

Here's a really good YT channel Real Anthony Aguero, he live streams at the border. The one he did yesterday afternoon was good. In part of it he shows the old wall and the 45 wall. It is a good channel if you're interested in TX border stuff.

The close up wall shots near a checkpoint that shows the old wall next to it start at about 16:00 in the video.

This anon's daughter and grand and great grand kids live in Corpus Christi. It has been heartbreaking watching that city deteriorate over the last 20 years. Sad. If one pulls up Corpus Christ on the Goog, one of the descriptor says that CC is 90% ghetto. Mexican mafia is VERY active in CC.

I pretty much watch 28th district Nueces county criminal court every Tues and Thurs morning on You Tube. It only live streams so you have to "go to court". The cases involving gang violence are common, sadly.

One good thing, decent judge in that district.

many people, just not you, so oh well

yes, they are all wrong, but the story illustrates that it's not just the poor women and children trying to get in, in the first place, that they aren't just trying to climb a wall, and the inhumanity of the whole thing
