So, while Sam #Tunick is a specific case where the feds were looking for a reason to get into his phone without a warrant, we need to talk about how much power #CBP / #ICE has accumulated since the passage of the #Patriot Act.
Under the "border search doctrine", ICE and CBP agents have broad power to search people or property at the border. Any search at the border is considered “reasonable,” meaning no warrant or probable cause is required.
That’s further complicated by the fact that the “border” can be broadly defined as a border-functioning location like an international airport or even within 100 miles of the U.S. border as drawn on a map.
Right now, about 2/3rds of Americans live within an area where ICE can search you without a warrant. While carve-outs for phones existed, the 4th circuit just took some of that protection away.
