The exact circumstances around the search are not known. But activist Samuel Tunick is charged with deleting data from a Google Pixel before CBP’s Tactical Terrorism Response Team could search it.
Its far worse than that. Anywhere that is within 80 miles of an international airport, they claim, is also inside their jurisdiction.
"U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) jurisdiction at airports covers all international arrivals/departures as designated ports of entry, plus a 100-mile zone inland from borders and coasts for immigration/customs enforcement, meaning they can operate at large international airports like DEN or DFW and even domestic ones if near borders, stopping, questioning, and searching individuals/belongings for admissibility and contraband, though searches need consent or probable cause for internal searches, notes the ACLU.

JFYI: Your quote sates that it is within 100 miles of a border or coast. Not 80 :(
No, it’s only at the airport.
Or at least it was; I’m sure now they’d just send ICE instead of CBP anywhere in the country.
