Following a number of alarming incidents involving workers trying to board class cars, a California school district close to the Mexican border is on high alert. On Wednesday night, around 20 migrants presumably attempted to get on a school bus in the Jamul-Dulzura Union School District, terrifying young children on board. According to city officials, this tragedy occurred just a moment after a smaller cluster of migrants attempted to stop another bus down a highway.
In a region close to the border, where college cars are then instructed to bypass prevents where migrants may be waiting, the unsettling events took place. At least three workers were seen on Tuesday trying to turn around a school bus on Highway 94 in the middle of the street, according to Fox 5.
On Wednesday, a larger group of migrants attempted to board a vehicle at the same quit off the side of the highway as students were boarding the bus. Parents, rightly concerned, had to maintain their children’s health.
Nicole Cardinale, a family whose 8-year-old boy was on the bus, described the incident as “really intimidating”. She explained that her brother was “really confused” by the encounter, noting that the people trying to board the vehicle were carrying packs. Cardinale remarked,” These children were put in that situation;” adding that if the workers had managed to board the bus, the situation might have become dangerous.
The Jamul-Dulzura Union School District has reported the situations to the California Highway Patrol, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, and the U. S. Border Patrol. Officials are then looking into the circumstances to see if there has been any criminal activity.
The migrants may have mistaken the vehicle for a car that could transport them to a safer area, according to an activist who works at the border. However, Jeremy Adams, another concerned parent, emphasized the uncertainty surrounding the situation, stating,” We do n’t know who these people are. We do n’t know if they have any criminal history, what their background is”.
The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department confirmed that it is conducting a follow-up research. According to director Kimberly King,” The Sheriff’s Office is working with the school area to keep the kids and our group safe.”
School District Superintendent Liz Bystedt has instructed vehicle owners to avoid prevents where workers are present in response to the situations. Bystedt urged parents to remain vigilant in a letter to them, advising them to observe the vehicle to the next halt to pick up their child.
