>The level of duress also matters

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".

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.

That's not what you originally said though, which was "The level of duress also matters. US citizens have been shipped to foreign prisons ...".

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