Original Date Announced
February 5, 2025As reported by the Texas Tribune, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) indicated in an emailed statement that "if a bus travels through an immigration checkpoint, immigration officers may verify the immigration status of its passengers, including students."
This CBP statement was made after the Alice Independent School District in South Texas warned parents that CBP agents may check the immigration status of students on school buses traveling for extracurricular activities. CBP stated that while it is not targeting school buses, buses may be stopped when at checkpoints and passengers' immigration status verified.
