Video has emerged showing a Customs and Border Patrol agent asking bus passengers if they are US citizens, and the coach driver telling them they must be citizens to ride.
The incident ocurred at the Concord Coach Lines bus terminal in Bangor, Maine over Memorial Day weekend, according to the ACLU of New Hampshire which released the video.
In it, passengers are seen standing in line as a CBP agent asks if they are US citizens, which the person filming says he refuses to answer.
Under law, CBP is authorized to operate interior checkpoints within 100 miles of the border, and an agency spokesperson told DailyMail.com that such operations are routine and vital to national security.
