Framing Analysis
Federal agents detained U.S. citizen Sam Tunick at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport on January 24, 2025, and questioned him regarding child exploitation images. Tunick’s phone was wiped after he entered a duress password on a GrapheneOS device; his attorneys allege the stop was pretextual and that agents denied counsel, a warrant, and Miranda warnings, while the government maintains no warrant was required prior to formal entry.
