I think you may have just read the timeline of events incorrectly as what was said makes perfect sense?
This was a multi-country investigation. The USA were likely already aware of Coelho so when he entered the US, he was then arrested by US authorities upon landing. It doesn't say his devices were searched there and then. It said a warrant was obtained to search his device, so they would needed to have a valid reason to apply for that warrant.
You seem to be reading it as if they had no idea who he was and they randomly searched someone's electronic devices and just happened to be this guy. That's not what they're saying happened?
