Iirc they can compel you to provide passwords at the border. You have far fewer rights at the border than once in the country

They can "compel" whatever they want. It's amazing how quickly someone can forget their password when stressed out.

Not sure about ICE, but FBI can only compel biometrics, not a passkey or PIN.

For iPhone, tap the power button five times and it will lock out FaceID and require the PIN.

Yup. They can detain you, take your phone, and just break into it. At best you leave without your electronics. At worst you don't get to leave. At extra worst, you leave to El Salvador.
