I think I remember reading that they can still detain you "indefinitely" even if you're a US Citizen. Is that not correct?

- gamblor956 9y agoThey can detain you indefinitely even if you're a US Citizen, but afterwards they will be sending you a rather sizable check to settle the lawsuit you file for getting your civil rights violated. Unless you commit a crime crossing the border (like getting caught with drugs), CBP does not have the authority to detain a US citizen without probable cause. Refusing to provide a password is not probable cause.
- cryptonector 9y agoCorrect. But they can retain your devices and all your stuff.
