FYI The entire state of Michigan falls within the 100-mile border zone, where searches do not have as much protection:

Also friendly reminder that "the Constitution does not grant aliens any protections when trying to enter the United States."

The current government refuses entry for political opinions by forcing people to give away their phone passwords. It is like a political test purge on a small scale showing what will happen to the country the minute they can free themselves from this pesky constitution.

> forcing people

Not sure what your definition of forcing is, but you are well within your rights to decline to provide any passwords in the US. You may not get the device back (or want it back), but in theory nothing should happen to you.
