At first, I read it that way too. However, it's supposed to be: (School) (warns parents) (of border patrol agents boarding buses [...])

I think it was a joke about the ambiguity of English in this instance. I find it amusing to willfully misinterpret things sometimes; it keeps the despair off.

Could be, but if they genuinely didn't understand, this hopefully helped more than continuing the (supposed) joke.

That's true; I didn't think about that.
