Out of status: Avoid greyhound or amtrak
Guys,
If you are out of status, it might be a good idea to read this article from the NY Times and share with friends whose immigration status isnt kosher. You risk being ICEd by USCIS while enjoying your travels...

The patrol says that answering agents’ questions is voluntary, part of a “consensual and nonintrusive conversation” Some passengers agree, though they are not told that they can keep silent. But others, from immigration lawyers and university officials to American-born travelers startled by an agent’s flashlight in their eyes, say the practice is coercive, unconstitutional and tainted by racial profiling. So what happens if you just stare at them and say nothing? What would happen if someone just said "I dont want to answer any of your questions"? Wouldnt they be able to force the individual to produce ID at least?
If you read the article, you will be able to answer your own question.
Metro North goes as far as New Haven, CT. There might be a bus or something to Providence. Other than Amtrak or Greyhound, I dont know of anything else. Unless you take a plane.
