A U.S. citizen has asked a court to throw out the government's claim that he gave over a passcode to border authorities that wiped his phone's data, opening up fresh questions about a person's constitutional rights at the U.S. border.

    “Entering a fascist state”, means you should turn around and go back the way you came. Why do people assume it’s safe here?

      Ideally, sure. I don’t think most people assume it’s safe here, at least not anymore. I’d wager that most people, if they had the option, wouldn’t come here lol it’s not like only tourists are coming through the border.

        I’d say the consequences of not coming are easier to endure than being beaten and left to rot in a concentration camp with no due process.

          That choice is a privilege in itself. Tell that to those who have loved ones dying in dystopian US hospitals.
