EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — U.S. Rep. Gabe Vasquez, D-New Mexico, says he wants answers after his office received reports that U.S. Border Patrol agents boarded a bus of Las Cruces High School students and “harassed” them Friday, Feb. 21 when they were on their way to a swim meet in Albuquerque.

Vasquez’s office says they were told that students and coaches were aboard a charter bus on Friday when they were stopped at a Border Patrol checkpoint.

“The situation escalated after agents questioned the driver, who was unable to respond in English. Rather than de-escalating, an agent proceeded to board the bus, ignored attempts by coaches to explain the situation, and demanded information from the students, leaving them rattled and shaken,” Vasquez’s office said.

And so it begins. Or should I say continues. I’m sure our resident righties will say this is not a problem.

This is basically my “hometown area” in the US. I first moved to El Paso in 2001. Super welcoming community. Just 30min from las cruces. The immense majority of people prefer speaking Spanish. And nearly everyone speaks it. This is very sad. With that said this area has been targeted by ICE and BP for decades.
