Clear Your Phone Before Traveling: Visa Holders Face Deportation Risk

Visa holders are warned to clear their phones before international travel. Immigration attorney Attorney Martinez highlights a significant risk for those traveling internationally on visas. In a recent short video, Attorney Martinez explains that Customs and Border Protection officials may search a traveler's phone without probable cause, and if the content violates the terms of their visa, it could lead to deportation. "When you're at the airport and you have a visa, you have absolutely no rights at the airport," Attorney Martinez states. The attorney advises travelers to delete compromising information from their phones and log out of cloud accounts before traveling to avoid potential issues. This warning underscores the importance of understanding visa regulations and the potential consequences of violating them.
