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.

    That is in a criminal investigation. They can just deny you entry if you dont unlock.

      Depends where you are, some jurisdictions within the US will order you to produce a password in some circumstances and hold you in contempt until you do and that decision has been upheld by higher courts, notably the third circuit.

        There are exceptions to most things, yes.

        None of it is relevant at the border though, they dont have to do anything other than deny entry.
