They don't need a warrant to search. I'm going to assume he's being charged with obstruction of justice. (Could be wrong)
You are wrong, read the article.
I'm not wrong. Border guards do not need a search warrant. The law is very clear on this.

I should’ve specified. I mean’t you are wrong on what he is being charged with, not that border patrol can search without warrants.
That's why I said (could be wrong) in brackets.
This guy is in a heap of trouble. He should have consulted a lawyer way before encountering border officials so he knew his rights and the law.
Laws can violate the constitution.. This constitution free zone bullshit started in the patriot act era.
