What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

A U.S. Court of Appeals decision, issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on September 17, has expanded the authority of U.S. border agents regarding electronic devices. The ruling affirmed that U.S. border officers can conduct warrantless searches of travelers’ cellphones without probable cause or reasonable suspicion. This precedent was established in the case of Chinwendu Alisigwe, a permanent U.S. resident whose device was searched at JFK Airport.
