Even assuming they recognize you citizenship and doesn't outright try to (unlawfully) deport you, they could still seize your belongings, detain you for 48 hours, and potentially add you on a no-fly list. The executive branch actually has the authority to do those things, its just that past administrations weren't this insane.
Better to just get a burner phone for traveling.
I'm so old, I remember a time when people left home without a phone at all.
I still do that sometimes.
Well, I usually bring a cheap dumbphone in case of emergency, but I didn't give the number to anyone, if it's even turned on to begin with.
I don't always need it.
Unfortunately, recently they added enormous fees for paper train tickets over here in Slovakia.
€1 for one-way purchased in station
€2 for two-way purchased in station
€3 if purchased in train (this purchase was always something used in a case when tickets weren't sold on departure station/stop, otherwise there is/was a €5 fine for that purchase)
So you kind of need a phone, again.
