Can ICE or CBP read your deleted messages? What US border agents can and can't do

US border officials may inspect travellers' electronic devices during airport inspections. Deleted messages might be recoverable, though policy remains unclear on this specific capability. Officers can perform basic searches without suspicion and advanced searches with reasonable suspicion. Passcodes obtained are for device inspection and not remote data access. ICE and CBP follow distinct policies for their respective border searches.
