- toomuchtodo 10y agoYou're right; it appears CBP can only hold you for so long, but no one knows that that limit is (nor do they have to provide a reason for detaining you). https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2017/02/13/can-federal-agents-detain-citizens-at-border-checkpoints-until-they-disclose-their-smartphone-passcodes/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/201... "On one hand, the agents couldn’t detain Bikkannavar forever. Detaining a U.S. citizen at the border is a Fourth Amendment seizure, and that seizure can’t be unlimited. See United States v. Martinez-Fuerte, 428 U.S. 543 (1976)."
- IanDrake 10y agoThanks for your revision. At the border you still have the right to a lawyer who can file a writ of habeas corpus. Then you must be charged or released.
