claimed they did not need a warrant to search Tunick’s phone because he had not yet crossed the U.S. border.

Also no right to search / seize his phone then. US law doesn’t apply on non-US soil.

Soo, alleged. Innocent until proven guilty, was it? How did they even sue him?

And the “border not US soil until permmitted entry” is legal bullshittery; they would have even less right to search / seize his phone then. Also couldn’t sue him to US law then.
