Court records show DHS cited terrorism, not CSAM, in GrapheneOS phone search case

New court filings reveal that Homeland Security Investigations flagged activist Samuel Tunick for suspected 'terrorist activities' before CBP agents stopped him at an Atlanta airport, but officers told him they were searching his phone for child sexual abuse material. Tunick, tied to the Stop Cop City protest movement, now faces up to five years in prison for allegedly wiping his GrapheneOS phone during the stop, under a rarely used law normally applied in cases like drug trafficking.
