They can't keep them, you'll get the devices back. Use a temp phone in the mean time.

Sad that we have to accept this as a risk of international travel, but here we are.

They can absolutely keep them. Or they can just "lose" them "accidentally". Who exactly would force them to give them back? Or put another way, who exactly will punish them if they break the law?

It's not sad, it's always been the case, and just expanding areas that are implementing it. It seems a lot of people here haven't travelled, or especially haven't travelled to 'restrictive' places in the past.

They’ll keep them until you sue. A lawsuit costs more than the devices.

You will lose them.
