alt Hacker NewsThe 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.

Theoretically yes, but in this case there's approximately zero chance a judge would accept "I destroyed evidence because there's a vague chance ICE might send me to a deportation camp".

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.
