#seeing them state so clearly they won't cooperate without a warrant? and then make sure their passengers know their rights?

This story's a few years old, but multiple people in the notes are saying this is still Greyhound policy. So, I went looking to fact check that before sharing it and found this page:
Under the parts on company discrimination policy, there's a section on US Customs and Border Protection checks (in both English and Spanish).
Greyhound Lines, Inc. does not consent to warrantless immigration enforcement checks on its buses or in non-public areas of its terminals.
That's a very clearly written policy, so yay the post is true! But what really got me, is that it's followed by a list of rights people have if they are questioned, searched, or detained, so people can protect themselves as well.
That is then followed by a brief explanation of discrimination law around race and ethnicity being used as a reason to stop and search, and how to submit a civil rights complaint if you are being stopped for discriminatory reasons.
They then provide links to places people can get help if they need it, like the ACLU and the National Immigrant Justice Centre.
Greyhound seem to be really committing to the rights of their passengers, and it's really nice to see!
