Good Friday Action: End Civil Rights Abuses by DHS on Amtrak & Greyhound
Save the Date
Friday April 10th
1:00-3:00 pm
Outside Penn Station in Newark
(Market St. & W. Raymond Plaza)
Did You Know?
• The border has been extended to a 100 MILE WIDE zone around the entire United States.
• DHS Checkpoints are being set up inland in states across the country.
• DHS agents are being permitted by Amtrak & Greyhound to board trains and buses when they come within 100 miles of the border for the purpose of checking the immigration status of passengers.
• Amtrak & Greyhound DO NOT notify passengers of this risk.
Join us for a prayer service in solidarity with immigrants and a rally to protest Amtrak and Greyhound’s cooperation with DHS!
We will also be leafleting inside and around Penn Station to warn passengers of the risk of immigration searches.
