TAMPA - It’s barely sunrise. The shadows under the passengers’ eyelids show it. “Morning, everybody,” says a man in green, Jeremy Farner, standing between them and the moment they’re longing for: getting off this Greyhound bus, packed 55 bodies full. The travel-weary eyes open wider at Farner’s next words, coming as they do in the middle of downtown Tampa: “U.S. Border Patrol. This is an immigration inspection.” Those words have been oft-repeated in buses arriving at or departing from Tampa’s Greyhound station at 610 Polk St. in recent years. That was particularly so last year, when Border Patrol agents arrested 262 people on those buses, primarily for immigration violations.
