No explicit source, but it's common sense and within their abilities, keep in mind recently changed rules around searching in general have changed recently...

Border agent: I'm going to search your phone give me the password.

(eventually you agree because it's a burner)

You: Here you go

Border agent: There's nothing on this phone, no email, no pictures, nothing? What are you trying to hide?

You: Well it's a new phone I just got

Border agent: And you haven't logged into anything yet?

You: Ya.

Border agent: looks like you're trying to hide something, this isn't normal behaviour

You: start looking nervous as the border agent's tone changes

Border agent: You're looking a little nervous now, are you hiding something?

You: no, just trying to travel

Border agent: Goes away and talks to someone, then comes back and says, sorry were going to deny you.

They can deny anyone for any reason. It would ultimately come down to how you handle the situation, but DO expect to be grilled about it if you haven't set it up to look real.
