Immigration advocate sues border agents over warrantless phone search
Original: Returning from vacation? The government can search your phone without a warrant
An immigration advocate has filed a lawsuit against US border agents after they demanded access to his cell phone when he returned from a trip abroad. The case highlights the government's broad authority to search electronic devices at the border without a warrant, a practice critics say undermines constitutional privacy protections. Discussion online is focusing on how little most travelers know about these powers and whether legal limits should be tightened.
Why now: The lawsuit spotlights the little-known border search exception that lets US authorities inspect phones without a warrant, alarming travelers.
