Also, turn off biometrics and disable all data sync. Disable bluetooth and wifi. Never put PIN in within visible range to prevent shoulder and camera surfing. Refuse to input PIN if demanded. If they stick you in a room, don’t touch anything. If they try to build rapport, invoke your fifth amendment right and demand to speak with legal council. Be a broken record if you have to. Staying silent isn’t enough in some states.
Never assume this is safe enough.
If possible just get a cheap, dumb phone only used for travel. Have an innocuous phrase you can say to your loved ones if you get busted that indicates you’re compromised. Cuz they’re probably gonna go after them too.

Good advice. But the better advice is, don’t go to the US. There’s nothing there for you or anyone civilized.
