Norwegian tourist, 21, is barred from entering the US after ICE guards find meme showing JD Vance with a bald head on his phone
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection has since clarified that 'Mads Mikkelsen was not denied entry for any memes or political reasons'.

Man if that's all it takes, I'm fucked when they start searching citizens' phones.
I mean, y'know, openly. I'm not delusional enough to think they don't already know what's on there.
Don't give them your phone password. You don't have to and that threat of prison or fines was complete bullshit. They could deny him entry, but that's it, and they can't deny a US citizen.
They can literally arrest non-citizens indefinitely while "awaiting" deportation. There is no upper time limit and anyone handling his case can just make "mistakes" requiring any deportation request to be re-re-re-re-submitted.
The commenter that started this is a citizen, deportation is not in the options. And for non-citizens, it's not like giving them your password protects you from what you describe.
Oh, it does not matter if you are a citizen, they can deport you - https://ktla.com/news/local-news/ice-has-deported-dozens-of-u-s-citizens-report-says/
Even though it's actually not possible to deport citizens, so it's just kidnapping and trafficking them. And that story above is about known incidents from 2015-2020. God only knows how bad it is now. But do not think you are safe if you are a US citizen. You are not.
Also disable biometric unlock methods. No rules against holding someone's phone up to their face while they're handcuffed.
You guys think they're not just going to beat the fuck out of people and use a backdoor to access files. That's cute.
My understanding is that they've been doing this kind of thing at point of entry for quite some time. I don't understand it at all...
You don’t understand it because it’s irrational.
It’s also unconstitutional. We have an amendment (4A) that addresses this specifically.
