The level of duress also matters. US citizens have been shipped to foreign prisons and there's an active case of high-level officials at DOJ violating court orders about that.

yea, maybe that can be a case but then I assume (I'm not a US lawyer) it would be that yes they destroyed the evidence by providing the wipe pin claiming it was the normal pin BUT under the circumstances it was OK to destroy the evidence because they acted under duress and could not be expected to act correctly.

From US soil?

		I'm not aware of any confirmed citizens being sent to foreign prisons (maybe?), but Trump is deporting people without due process, including the chance to demonstrate to the courts that they are here legally.

That's a bit of a strawman. No defense attorney would omit the other circumstances of the search, some of which very likely overstepped legitimate authority.

		Well the issue was that you made a good point, so now the goalpost has to move.
