Montgomery County encourages immigrants to call 911 after decline in non-English emergency calls
Montgomery County is encouraging non-English speakers to call 911 after a 12.4% decline in Language Line interpretation service usage in 2025, with Spanish-language calls dropping nearly 14%. County officials attribute the decrease to fears related to increased immigration enforcement since President Donald Trump’s second term began in January 2025.
