A group of 20 illegal aliens attempted to board a school bus in California on Wednesday, prompting concerns about student safety in the Jamul-Dulzura Union School District. The incident occurred as the bus was picking up students, marking the second time in recent days that such an event has taken place in the district.
The first incident occurred on Tuesday when three men attempted to stop a school bus on Highway 94. The bus was forced to maneuver around the men to continue on its route. The following day, a larger group of 20 people attempted to board a school bus at the same location. Alert parents at the bus stop intervened to ensure that none of the illegal aliens were able to board the bus with the children.
In response to these incidents, Superintendent Liz Bystedt issued a letter to parents outlining new safety protocols. “For the safety of students and bus drivers,” Bystedt stated, school buses will now bypass stops where migrants are present and proceed directly to the next stop on the route. Parents were advised to remain vigilant and follow the bus to the next stop if it bypasses their location.
The situation has left parents shaken, with Nicole Cardinale, whose 8-year-old son was on the bus, describing the incident as “really scary.” Her son reported that the adults attempting to board the bus were carrying backpacks and appeared to be trying to gain access to the vehicle.
The San Diego Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident to determine if any criminal activity occurred. Kimberly King, a representative from the Sheriff’s Department, emphasized that student safety is a top priority and that they are working closely with the school district to ensure the security of the students and the community.
This incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by border communities and the importance of maintaining vigilant security measures to protect students and school personnel.
