PHARMACIST STEVE

Just wanted to make sure you saw this: The Greyhound bus company is allowing Border Patrol agents to board its buses and search passengers without a warrant. It’s a gross violation of passengers’ constitutional rights – and we need your help to stop it.

Add your name so we can show Greyhound we’re standing up for immigrants’ rights. When Greyhound sees our petition, they’ll know we’re not going to back down.

This is urgent – there are so many lives on the line because of this latest development in Trump’s racist, anti-immigrant agenda. With your help, we can make sure Greyhound stays out of this xenophobic, fear-mongering practice.

Thanks for speaking up with us,

Jennie

Hi Steve –

Imagine taking your regular bus to work or school. The bus pulls over and Border Patrol agents get on board. Row by row, they scan passengers for anybody deemed “suspicious” due to the color of their skin, accent, or the way they dress. You think you’re just taking the bus home, like any other day – but you end up arrested, detained, and in worst cases, deported.

That horror story has increasingly become a reality on Greyhound buses throughout the country, because the company allows Border Patrol agents to board its buses and arrest passengers without a warrant.

Sign this petition telling Greyhound to stop throwing its passengers’ rights under the bus.

Not only is Border Patrol’s practice cruel, but it’s not even legal. The Fourth Amendment prohibits government agents from entering private property without consent or a warrant, and it protects everyone on U.S. soil – regardless of citizenship – from being detained or searched without cause. By law, Greyhound is fully capable of saying NO to Border Patrol. So why aren’t they?

Add your name to tell Greyhound to stop allowing Border Patrol agents to violate the constitutional rights of paying customers.

We know what this is really about. This is all part of the Trump administration’s shameful and hateful agenda to intimidate and expel immigrants from this country. It’s completely contrary to the founding principles of this country, which not only value immigrants and what they add to our communities, but also clearly delineate personal rights and freedoms. Like the right to take your daily commute without having to prove your citizenship or fear arrest and deportation.

We’re not going to stand for this racist policy. Sign this petition and tell Greyhound to treat its customers fairly and with dignity.

Thanks for fighting back,
