Comment on Since the government can theoretically access the location of everyone's phone, wouldn't it be unsafe for an undocumented immigrant to have a phone?

You don’t talk to US customs on your way out via land borders.

If you fly out, there would be a flight record, but most of the other methods don’t get recorded. If you go to Canada, the canadian immigration shares that data with the US, assuming you use the same passport (some people have more than one)

If you go to Mexico though, there’s no record and the Mexican government doesn’t share that info with the US. crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R47541 Page 14

Ah interesting, I knew it was recorded in Canada and shared, hadn’t realized it wasn’t in Mexico. Other than that, very familiar with the process overall, but my experience has been with flights mostly.
