Umesh Jie, a 21-year-old senior industrial sciences major, was walking to class on Friday when he realized that a few friends from his junior high were on the same bus that was forced to cancel their trip after their student ID was taken off its card.

Jie, who said he was “really excited” to be on the bus, was riding with nine friends from his “inner circle” and his parents, one of whom lives with his parents. In a previous class he said he had only heard of people being detained on the bus before, not being able to see their parents, but now he feels the “absolute terror.”

He said his friend and nine others were “in shock” and “fuming” as they waited for their families to pick them up and leave the bus. “We didn’t want to leave,” he said.

Jie said it appeared like the driver was “hiding behind the walls” of the bus to avoid an on-call officer to take over, but he didn’t feel that was the reason.

He said he was afraid if he waited for his parents to call “they would put their hands on my friends hands until it was over.”

Jie said his parents, also student conduct officers, were “incredibly supportive of us,” but ultimately had to cancel their return transportation.

A fellow student said he was on the bus with his mom, brother, cousin and best friend and did not have his ID in his wallet. The two men on the bus were separated by several people. He said he was worried the driver would have his
