Sav, a young social media content creator from Fort Lauderdale, says U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers detained her at Miami International Airport on April 26 after she returned from a vacation in Europe. She says officers questioned her about her father's immigration status and her income from TikTok, then took her phone and searched through her TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat accounts. Sav, a U.S. citizen, suspects the search may be connected to her anti-Trump social media content.
