DHS Lied About Why It Wanted To Search Activist's GrapheneOS Phone

Court records show CBP officers told Stop Cop City activist Samuel Tunick they were looking for CSAM, while HSI was actually investigating him for suspected "terrorist activities." Tunick faces up to five years in prison for allegedly wiping his GrapheneOS phone during the airport encounter.

• CBP cited CSAM search while HSI pursued a "terrorism" case
• Tunick was stopped at Atlanta airport on flight DL 1778
• He faces up to five years for wiping his Google Pixel
