"Last week, attorney Andrew Lattarulo was on his way home from Aruba when his iPhone 15 Pro Max was seized by Homeland Security and Border Control agents at Boston Logan International Airport. Perhaps un-coincidentally, Lattarulo is a well-known immigration in the Boston area - his clients include the father of a 4-month old whose arrest by ICE drew public scrutiny - and has a popular social media presence that calls out problematic practices of immigration agents and is critical of Donald Trump's policies."
"As stated in the motion, "The seizure was made eight hours after plaintiff had been inspected by United States Customs and Border Protection at a border crossing. Plaintiff's phone was unlawfully seized and most likely searched in violation of plaintiff's First and Fourth Amendments, and the constitutional rights of his clients." District of Massachusetts Judge Allison D. Burroughs granted the TRO, barring the government from searching the phone or analyzing any data that may have already been collected."
