A group of protesters shouting anti-immigration slogans blocked the arrival of three buses carrying undocumented Central American families to a U.S. Border Patrol station in California on Tuesday (July 01) after they were flown to San Diego from Texas.
The arrival of the undocumented immigrants, a group of adults and their children numbering about 140 people at a border patrol station in Murrieta, about 60 miles (97 km) north of San Diego, sparked an outcry from the town's mayor, who said the migrants posed a public safety threat to his community.
A group of 150 protesters filled a street leading to the access road for the processing center in Murrieta, blocking the two buses from reaching the facility, and disregarding orders shouted by local police to disperse.
Bryan Escobedo was among them.
