A growing number of legal U.S. residents and visa holders are being detained or deported after border agents inspect their phones and social media.

    Border entry is different than self incrimination.

    If you are charged with a crime you cannot be compelled to give a password as it resides in your head. However if you use finger prints or face recognition to unlock it you’re SOL.

    Best thing to do is get an android and setup a dummy account. use that account when you get off the plane so when you unlock it there is nothing to go through.

      The best thing is to just not go to the US
