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 morning, around 20 migrants presumably attempted to get on a school bus in the Jamul-Dulzura Union School District, terrifying younger 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 migrants were seen on Tuesday trying to turn around a school bus on Highway 94 in the middle of the street, according to Fox 5.
A larger group of migrants attempted to table a vehicle at the same stop off the bridge as pupils were arriving on Wednesday, compounding the situation. Parents, rightly involved, 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 frightening”. She explained that her brother was “really confused” by the encounter, noting that the people trying to board the vehicle were carrying packs. Cardinale said,” This is just terrifying that these children were put in that situation,” noting that if the migrants had managed to board the bus, the scenario 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 now looking into the circumstances to see if any criminal activity occurred.
One campaigner who works at the nearby border suggested that the workers may have mistaken the vehicle for a car that was transport them somewhere safer. 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. The Sheriff’s Office takes concerns about student protection very seriously and is working with the school area to protect the kids and the neighborhood, according to director Kimberly King.
School District Superintendent Liz Bystedt has instructed bus drivers to avoid crossing over toll points in response to the situations. Bystedt advised parents to be alert if a vehicle leaves their prevent and may proceed to the next stop to pick up their child in a text to families.
