Excerpts from article:
...Greyhound will no longer allow Border Patrol agents to conduct immigration checks on buses without a warrant, the company announced Friday.
...Greyhound had been pressured by civil rights groups to stop allowing Border Patrol agents on buses, including the American Civil Liberties Union.
...Under the Obama administration, Border Patrol began scaling back "Transportation checks," especially along the border between the United States and Canada, after being criticized for "Racial profiling." Agents were told to stay away from bus and train stations unless they had "Actionable intelligence" about a person in the country illegally, and that had to be cleared by Border Patrol headquarters in Washington, D.C. Under President Trump, authority was returned to Border Patrol chiefs in their respective sectors, which has caused a rise in station operations, the agency said.
..."The U.S. Border Patrol conducts regular outreach with transportation companies to foster good working relationships," the Border Patrol said in a statement earlier this month.
