NEW: US federal court in Boston has ruled that warrantless US government searches of the phones and laptops of international travelers at airports and other US ports of entry violate the Fourth Amendment.
The court documents also said agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement consider requests from other government agencies in determining whether to search travelers’ electronic devices. They added that agents are searching the electronic devices of not only targeted individuals but their associates, friends and relatives.
Jessie Rossman, a staff attorney at ACLU’s Massachusetts chapter, said the ruling is a victory for constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. Rossman said two of the plaintiffs — Ghassan and Nadia Alasaad — were stopped as they tried to re-enter the U.S. after a visit to Canada. Both are U.S. citizens and live in Massachusetts.
She asked that a female officer review her phone because it contained photos of her and her daughters without their headscarves. Alasaad said she was told that would take a few more hours.
