His attorneys say border agents repeatedly demanded access to his phone and told him they did not need a warrant.

Tunick’s legal team is now trying to have the evidence thrown out. It argues that he was questioned without being read his Miranda rights, that agents repeatedly refused his requests to speak with a lawyer, and that the phone search was an unreasonable seizure. His lawyers also say questions about child sexual abuse material were used as a pretext to investigate his alleged links to the movement opposing Atlanta’s police training center, commonly known as Cop City.

And that's why you always use a burner when going in or out of Nazi country, even if you live there.
