There have been increased reports of search and seizure of electronic devices by boarder agents at U.S. international airports and other U.S. ports of entry. You should be aware of your rights at the boarder whether you are a U.S. passport holder or not, and you should be aware of how to handle encounters with law enforcement.
Below you will find two American Civil Liberties Union articles pertaining to the search and seizure of electronic devices and how to handle encounters with law enforcement.
If you have any questions, or concerns, please contact Erin DeLuca, Coordinator for International Safety and Security, at edeluca@illinois.edu.
