Man 'refused entry into US' as border control catch him with bald JD Vance meme
-
Once you're in a country you are subject to that country's laws, it's a thing you need to be aware of when traveling. A lot of people find that out the hard way.
So yea, they are actionable if they want it to be.
It's against American law.

This themakes the USA look like we're a bunch of petty bitches. WTF is this bullshit, cowardly border agents. Seriously we're a kakistocracy with a bunch of elected officials and appointed officials that are thin skinned pussies.

China has healthcare.
China also has horrific human rights abuse and rampant organ farming/trafficking.

Do they have the right to search your phone ?
wrote last edited by [email protected]They always had. The US border has this special exemption to the constitution that some of the normal protections don't apply.
If you are a citizen, they (legally speaking) can't deny you entry, but can jail (detain) you for 48 hours and seize all your belongings, and put your on a no-fly list if they wanted to.
If you are not a citizen, they could deny you entry on top of all that.
This was always the case in previous administrations, its just that in previous administration, they weren't this insane.

Do you have a source that isn’t a tabloid? The only other sources i found were other tabloids.
I’m sure horrible shit is happening but tabloids aren't news. They are meant to get an emotional reaction via mistruths and exaggeration. And you having a one day old account makes this even more suspect.

All my plans involving the US have been canceled for the foreseeable future. Fuck that place and Russia too.

I'm not sure about the US, probably, as others have said. Most countries it's less about a right and more about if you refuse, they'll just stick you in holding and deny you entry.

So it's the same, but they have healthcare.

Uh huh, because there's no genocide happening in or helped by America.

Um excuse me, who else can defend peace and freedom and democracy? They make all the best weapons!

This not only has been going on awhile, it's worse than it sounds.
A French scientist was denied entry at the border earlier this year, in March, after officers unearthed messages criticising Trump on his phone.
Mikkelsen explained: "They threatened me with a minimum fine of $5,000 or five years in prison if I refused to provide the password to my phone."
wrote last edited by [email protected]How do you put someone in prison who has not entered your country yet?
And I thought it was already ruled that they can't hold someone for that long just for not giving up a password at the border?

China makes some pretty good rail guns, im told.

they are not legal, as the first amendment applies even to noncitizens. however that doesn’t mean they can’t deny entry for “any” reason. they are fascist after all.
wrote last edited by [email protected]It has been ruled by SCOTUS that the Constitution specifically does not apply at border entry to non-citizens:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_ex_rel._Knauff_v._Shaughnessy
the Constitution does not grant aliens any protections when trying to enter the United States.
https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S8-C18-8-7-3/ALDE_00001263/['article', '14']
an alien "on the threshold of initial entry stands on a different footing" because he or she is theoretically outside the United States and typically beyond the veil of constitutional protection.
https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/345/206/
Although a lawfully resident alien may not captiously be deprived of his constitutional rights [to due process], the alien in this case is an entrant alien or "assimilated to that status" for constitutional purposes.
The Attorney General therefore may exclude this alien without a hearing, as authorized by the emergency regulations promulgated pursuant to the Passport Act, and need not disclose the evidence upon which that determination rests.

Depressingly, SCOTUS has ruled that you really don't have the same rights at border crossings as you do once you've passed through.
This applies to citizens as well as foreign nationals.
wrote last edited by [email protected]You have even less rights at border crossings if you are not a citizen and have not technically entered the country through immigration yet... basically the Constitution does not even apply:
