    Examine TikTok’s U.S. facilities, records, equipment and servers with minimal or no notice,

    not related. But this kind of reminds me of https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2257 specifically:

    © Any person to whom subsection (a) applies shall maintain the records required by this section at his business premises, or at such other place as the Attorney General may by regulation prescribe and shall make such records available to the Attorney General for inspection at all reasonable times.

    So, at least it’s nothing new. there’s precedence for it in existing law.
