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.

the claim they are making is that the user inputted a duress pin at the port, i was under the assumption that they actually need to have evidence that something was there in order to claim destruction of evidence, I'll be curious to see where that case goes. It sounds like it was a routine search with no objective.
