How’d they get into his phone? Face or fingerprint?
Make sure you turn off biometrics before traveling. They can’t force you to disclose a passcode.
Just don't come here unless you have to. And get a burner if you do come.

France’s research minister said a French scientist was denied entry to the US this month after immigration officers at an airport searched his phone and found messages in which he had expressed criticism of the Trump administration.

The Nazis literally did this with a law. They made it illegal to be critical of the party. Fuck the alarm, we've already been had.
Yup. "But we're not there yet", so they say. "Too soon to act rashly".
'First they started mass deportations, but it wasn't time yet, so we did not act.
Then they started refusing people who were critical of them, but it wasn't a corrupt system yet, so we did not act.
Then they started blatantly taking money from the poor and give it to the rich, but it wasn't a corrupt system yet, so we did not act.'
Not all, but the gist of it. Thankfully some bubbles of resistance are starting to form in the US, but the main people who were elected to uphold the law and fight this democraticly are already bribed or blackmailed, so it's in great part up to the people, and whatever stance the army ends up taking when they are forced to choose between loyalty to the constitution, or an individual.

They will also ask you for your password for online accounts and refuse entry if you don't.
And as we have all seen recently that does not necessarily mean "next flight home". -

well its better than the button pressing me

That's forced. Since when was it a thing?
Since the PATRIOT Act at least, but possibly since Reagan's Executive Order 12333.

A 2-1 circuit split means that the 2 currently prevails, thus making border searching of electronics illegal unless you're within the 11th's jurisdiction (Florida, Georgia, Alabama, while the guy was arrested traveling to a Texas conference), no?
In 2014, the US Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling in Riley v. California, which held that law enforcement officials violated the Fourth Amendment when they searched an arrestee's cellphone without a warrant. The court explained, "Modern cell phones are not just another technological convenience. With all they contain and all they may reveal, they hold for many Americans 'the privacies of life.' The fact that technology now allows an individual to carry such information in his hand does not make the information any less worthy of the protection for which the Founders fought."[15]
In 2013, before Riley was decided, the Ninth Circuit court of appeals held that reasonable suspicion is required to subject a computer seized at the border to forensic examination. [...] In May of 2018, in U.S. v. Kolsuz, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has held that it is unconstitutional for US border officials to subject visitors' devices to forensic searches without individualized suspicion of criminal wrongdoing.[22] Just five days later, in U.S. v. Touset, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals split with the Fourth and Ninth Circuits, ruling that the Fourth Amendment does not require suspicion for forensic searches of electronic devices at the border.[23] The existence of a circuit split is one of the factors that the Supreme Court of the United States considers when deciding whether to grant review of a case.[24]

I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and say they're ignoring whatever court precedent actually exists at this point anyway.
Also, a phrase I've heard a lot "you can beat the charge but you can't beat the ride." Meaning, like Luigi Mangione, you can argue in court about illegal seizures after it has already happened. I'm guessing most border patrol agents just plan on losing court cases like this, because they know, in the moment, they can get away with it.
I mean they fucking tortured a white European green card holder recently.

Translation: if you're going to the US you might have to immediately find a flight back because their government might go through your phone and find out that you rightfully criticised their great orange leader. Glad I managed to visit before, America can go and choke on their aspirations.

Always has been

Haha, I'll never get into the USA. Trump is a snowflake melted on a turd and he can fuck a melon.
Pineapple

What? A scientist who is critical of Trump?? How can that be???

As a Latin American, the US is the very last county I want to visit on the entire continent. Literally the only thing that I kind of want to see there is the Lego store in NYC.
Better off going to Legoland in Denmark in that case.
