Border Patrol Stops School Bus, Questions Students Near Border
U.S. Representative Gabe Vasquez is demanding answers after Border Patrol agents boarded a bus of Las Cruces High School students traveling to a swim meet, questioning students and causing distress. While Customs and Border Protection (CBP) claims the stop was a routine inspection at a checkpoint, Vasquez and parents criticize the agents’ actions, citing the students’ visible distress and the inappropriateness of targeting minors. The incident has sparked concerns about broader ICE enforcement practices and the potential for similar events. Vasquez has called for a full investigation and policy changes to prevent future occurrences.
