From the New York Times this afternoon: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/22/us/greyhound-border-patrol.html
Fair use quote:
Greyhound Lines will no longer allow Border Patrol agents to conduct immigration checks on its buses without warrants, the company announced on Friday — one week after a leaked government memo revealed that agents could not board buses without consent.

This is fantastic news IMO, though I am very confused as to why CBP was the one who said they need consent from the company or a warrant, as I thought they had the authority to board within 100 miles of a border?
