We’re disappointed that the Supreme Court decided not to take up our case challenging the government’s practice of searching electronic devices at the border without a warrant or any suspicion of wrongdoing.
@EFF We sued DHS nearly four years ago on behalf of a group of travelers to put a stop to this egregious privacy violation. While this case is over, the fight continues to defend digital privacy at the U.S. border
We want to thank our partners @ACLU @ACLU_Mass, and of course our clients. Without their commitment to fight for their constitutional rights, this case would not have happened. @EFF
On the bright side, the Supreme Court declined to hear a similar case, which lets stand a Ninth Circuit ruling that narrowed border device searches to looking for digital contraband. The Ninth Circuit cited EFF’s amicus brief in crafting its new rule. eff.org/deeplinks/2019… @EFF
