As a foreigner, our government will arbitrarily detain and search you as you wish and you will have no recourse, especially with this administration.
It doesn't really matter what the laws are on paper. Your employees aren't going to resist interrogation and fight to defend some vague law on behalf of your clients when they're being questioned by big armed dudes and threatened with indefinite detention. The government will get its way.
Buy some separate Chromebooks for travel, with no local data saved and no logins saved, and loan them out to employees when they travel. Have them memorize a password and make sure it gets changed when they get back.
Better yet, don't even come here right now. The civilized world should be boycotting US businesses (or at least travel to the US) until and unless we get our shit in order. Make a Zoom call. It's not worth getting your employees traumatized.

American here. Most of the country by population is considered a border zone where you have very limited rights against federal searches: https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/border-zone
