San Diego County sheriff says migrants did not try to forcefully stop or enter school bus
LA TimesThe junction of Highway 94 and Cochera Via Drive in eastern San Diego County, where officials say migrants tried unsuccessfully to board school buses on two separate occasions. Law enforcement officials shot down suggestions that migrants who recently crossed the U.S.-Mexican border tried to forcefully board a school bus in a remote area of San Diego earlier this week. But on Thursday, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that no crime was committed because “deputies determined that no one forcefully tried to stop or enter the school buses.” News station Fox 5 San Diego first reported that the individuals were migrants, though law enforcement officials have not confirmed if that was the case. The school district reported both instances to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office and the California Highway Patrol, according to Bystedt’s letter to parents.
