Greyhound said it would notify the Department of Homeland Security that it does not consent to unwarranted searches on its buses or terminals.

“Our primary concern is the safety of our customers and team members, and we are confident these changes will lead to an improved experience for all parties involved,” the statement said.

Greyhound has faced pressure from the American Civil Liberties Union, immigrant rights activists and Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson to stop allowing sweeps on buses within 100 miles of an international border or coastline. In many cases, the buses being checked were not crossing or even approaching an international boundary.

“We are pleased to see Greyhound clearly communicate that it does not consent to racial profiling and harassment on its buses," Andrea Flores, deputy director of policy for the ACLU's Equality Division, said in an email. “By protecting its customers and employees, Greyhound is sending a message that it prioritizes the communities it serves.

No problem. Waiting for search warrants will throw Greyhound bus schedules in disarray... just wait until Greyhound starts posting record losses, their compliance to searches will overwhelming.

Nice

jlroy are you the mouthpiece for this thread ?

Then take your business to mexico !

Why is it the very same people who fall prostrate at the 2nd Amendment have never heard of the 4th?

I individual rights were Constitutionally inviolable in Nazi Germany. However a supreme leader with lickspittle miscreant boot lickers and a cult following can trample on any Constitution in any country.

It's the means of transportation for illegals. Grayhound should be held to task.

No way Greyhound should have the right to stop searches good grief are they joking gee what’s to hide

Trump and his lickspittle cronies are attempting to establish a PoliceState. Buses, trains, planes, automobiles... PAPERS PLEASE!

Great job GreyhoundBus

As should no one

How can they verify that they aren’t conspiring 2 break the immigration laws by confirming illegals aren’t utilizing their services 2 cross borders? What gives them rights to determine what laws they don’t have to obey?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Doesn’t matter. The government does t have to give you a permit to operate either.

I really have mixed feelings, but someone please help me....where was the outrage over illegals when they were brought here by the boatload from Africa to build this nation, and where is the outrage from those who benefit from the cheap labor the illegals provide today.

All the more reason (for my safety ) to never use GreyhoundBus - pretty sketchy crowd who uses their services, anyway. Especially love their terminal in Clearwater that dumps the unsuspecting off right off at Scientology 's cult headquarters. Nice...

Good. Why upset a lot of innocent people?

How often are there unwarranted searches now?

I didn't know you could choose to disobey a law enforcement agency. They must be doing something wrong to take this stance.

The Long, Violent History of Racism and Sexism at the U.S.-Mexico BorderThe problem has deep roots from over a century ago — now it's more relevant than ever. A whole movement is going on nationally rn, in Mexico. Femicide, rape and assault rates are skyrocketing and we’re now protesting. This is what they fill our kids heads with. Is there even any truth here? I will make sure that all literature will be reviewed and monitored before allowed in my home or in my kids hands. I am also banning any internet articles that promote socialism, communism or falsehood. And yet we have Democrats who want to let these criminals cross our border and take advantage of loose border security for sex trafficking women. Thank god for Trump!
