Use GrapheneOS and switch to PIN authentication didabling fingerprint auth, especially when travelling abroad.
If I had a phone set up like that, and, say, ICE or TSA took it, what would they be able to get from it? And I know that legally they can't make you give up your PIN, but what's to keep them from just beating it out of you? Cops of any stripe rarely if ever face consequences for their actions, especially in the US.
Pretty sure they can. Or at least, they can deny you entry into the country if you decline to unlock it for them.
