A country can not deny entry to its own citizens.
They can immediately arrest you, however.
But not for not giving them access to your phone.
What the will arrest you for vs can arrest you for are very different things. Really. This isn’t cynicism, is empirical knowledge. If they want to arrest you, you’re getting arrested. They can arrest you because they can arrest you. This is the strict literal sense of can.
In America, Europe, etc.
