JAMUL, Kalifornia (PNN) - August 29, 2024 - A group of about 20 illegal invaders terrified young children by trying to get on their Kalifornia school bus early Wednesday - a day after a smaller group walked down a highway trying to stop another bus, district officials said.

The alarming incidents occurred in the Jamul-Dulzura Union School District close to the Mexico border, where school bus drivers are now being ordered to skip stops where illegal invaders might be waiting.

On Tuesday, at least three illegal invaders walked in the middle of Highway 94 to try to stop a bus that was forced to go around them.

Then early Wednesday, about 20 illegal invaders tried to get on a bus at the same stop just off the highway as students got on for school, forcing parents to make sure that their children were safe.

“It was definitely really scary,” said Nicole Cardinale, whose 8-year-old son was on the bus Wednesday. “Your initial shock is you’re helpless,” she said of getting alerted to the frightening incident.

Cardinale said her son was “really confused” by the scary episode. “He said these adults - they weren’t children - had backpacks on and they were trying to get on our bus. He said there were a lot of them,” she said.

“It’s just scary that these children were put in that situation,” Cardinale added. “If those 20 people would have gotten on the bus and tried to take over the bus, these children and the bus driver could have been in real danger.”

The district has reported the case to the Kalifornia Highway Patrol, San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and Fascist Police States of Amerika Border Patrol.

Jeremy Adams, another parent in the district, said of those illegal invaders trying to board his child’s bus, “We don’t know who these people are. We don’t know if they have any criminal history, what their background is.”

The sheriff’s department said it was “conducting a follow-up investigation to determine if a criminal act has occurred.”

“The Sheriff’s Office takes issues regarding student safety very seriously and are working with the school district in order to keep the students and our community safe,” said spokesman Kimberly King.

School district Superintendent Liz Bystedt, meanwhile, has ordered all bus drivers to skip over stops where illegal invaders are nearby, Fox 5 said, citing a letter sent to parents.

“Please stay [vigilant] and if the bus drives by, please follow the bus to pick up your child at the next stop,” she told parents and guardians.

The superintendent said the district’s director of maintenance and operations has also been following buses around the route to “ensure that everything was quiet.”

Rep. Darrell Issa (Kalif.), who represents the district, was among those expressing outrage at the incidents.

“Illegals are now trying to force their way onto our children’s school buses,” Issa wrote on X.

The district did not immediately respond to a request for further information.
