Coming from a district court, I think this ruling could be appealed, but it’s welcome news nevertheless.

    Well, if our government can stop Americans from going to other countries to discuss peace talks.

    They can also force you and anyone else to hand over your electronics. With multiple men that are armed in the airport, there is nothing you can do until they allow you to get a lawyer, and then that will also not help to keep your rights after the fact.

      Sure, but we shouldn’t normalize searching through phones without a warrant, especially for journalists.

      It’s great that the courts are standing up against CBP here.
