US immigration officials look to expand social media data collection
U.S. immigration officials are asking the public and federal agencies to comment on a proposal to collect social media handles from people applying to benefits such as green cards or citizenship, to comply with an executive order from President Donald Trump.
Orange Gestapo "Homeland Security" has opened up a 60 day comment period for plans to collect Social Media accounts for anyone with a Visa or Greencard.
Link to provide Homeland Security with feedback is in the article as well as here.
Leave feedback, though I'm highly doubtful it will make any difference.

Power off your phone. Tell the officer you forgot to charge the device. If they power it on, oh shit! You forgot your passcode!
Reminder, if you're not a citizen they can hold you indefinitely until they get in, power or password.
If you are a citizen, they will seize your phone. Question of access remains, but they will just keep it.

I'd love a reference to where a citizen's phone has been seized, if I missed it in this article I apologize.
If you're traveling to the US for work and are not a citizen, ship your devices to where you'll be staying. Bring a burner for the flight. Sorry we're such a shithole.
