一位阿根廷裔美国作家兼移民倡导者最近起诉了联邦政府,要求其删除他认为是本月早些时候他重新进入美国时从手机上复制的数据。
An Argentinian-American writer and immigration advocate recently sued the federal government, demanding that it delete data that he believes was copied off of his phone when he re-entered the United States earlier this month.
根据这份七页的诉状,托马斯·肯尼迪表示,迈阿密国际机场的一名海关与边境保护局官员亲自搜查了他的行李,就他的书籍和杂志对他进行盘问,然后要求他交出手机。
According to the seven-page complaint, Thomas Kennedy said that a Customs and Border Protection agent at Miami International Airport physically searched his bags, questioned him about his books and magazines, and then demanded that he hand over his phone.
“[该官员]威胁我,说如果我不把手机给他,我的审讯将会拖得更久,而且他们可以无限期扣留我的手机,”肯尼迪写道。“我觉得别无选择,所以我把手机交给了海关与边境保护局官员。”
“[The agent] threatened me, saying that if I didn’t give him my phone, my interrogation was going to take much longer and they could retain my phone indefinitely,” Kennedy wrote. “I felt like I had no choice, so I handed my phone to the CBP agent.”
