"While CBP said it only searched about 47,000 devices of the 420 million people who crossed the US border in 2024, experts the Guardian spoke to say border enforcement has been unpredictable under the Trump administration, so figuring out whether you’re at risk of a device search is not as straightforward as it once was. French officials said a French scientist was recently turned away at an airport in Texas because immigration officers found texts that were critical of Trump on his phone.

“The super-conservative perspective is to assume they are completely unhinged and that even the most benign reasons for travel are going to subject non-citizens to these device searches,” said Sophia Cope, a senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a non-profit digital rights group.

If you’re a US citizen, you must be admitted into the country. That said, some jurisdictions allow CBP to work with the FBI or local police to advance domestic investigations, so there are still some risks of your devices being searched for domestic reasons.

There are steps you can take to make it harder for CBP officers to access your device and the data on it. So what should you do to protect the data on your phone from being searched? The main thing is to prepare ahead of heading to the airport. Here is what you should be thinking about:"

Driving down the street here in Duluth, MN and saw a billboard that read - in bold white letters on a black background - A TARIFF IS A TAX ON YOUR GROCERIES. I checked who had paid for the message. It was bought by the Canadian government.

While I wish the situation were different, I love the moxie. I have no notes. Please just don’t make the same mistake we did. #elbowsup #canada #minnesota #borders

A reminder that people on here telling you what your rights are at a border, who advocate things like "just don't unlock your phone" or "ask for lawyer":

A) don't seem to be lawyers
B) appear to all be US citizens
C) don't seem to have much border crossing experience
D) don't seem to have any experience being black/brown/non-english-speaking/female/trans/non binary at a border
E) and are, as far as I can tell, just straight up wrong about the law.

Maybe don't listen to them.

Ask an actual lawyer. Read your government's advice. Know that things *are* different and worse with each identity that doesn't please the KKK.

And if the above is true of you, *please* stop giving advice. Respectfully, you don't know what you're talking about and your bad advice endangers others.

EES to launch in October 2025. How will the border check system affect crossing times?

The EU’s long-delayed Entry/Exit System (EES) is scheduled to finally come into force in 2025.

The EES requires all borders to install new scanners - most will not be ready on the launch day.

Poland accused of brutality as Belarus border crackdown escalates.

Polish border forces regularly force migrants back into Belarus, with reports of people being beaten, stripped of their clothes and left stranded in forests without food, shelter or medical care, according to a new report from Oxfam and Polish NGO Egala published Tuesday.
