Last summer, Maine’s largest passenger bus company, Concord Coach Lines, said it would not block Customs and Border Patrol agents from conducting warrantless searches of their passengers, even after being urged to do so by the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine.

Jewish Activists in Maine and other community members involved in organizing the demonstration on Sunday demanded that Concord publicly commit to cease all practices that lead to family separation.
