The following excerpt is from Tobias v. Arteaga, No. 18-56360 (9th Cir. 2021):
the lack of any advice to the accused of his constitutional rights, the length of detention, the repeated and prolonged nature of the questioning, and the use of physical punishment such as the deprivation of food or sleep." United States v. Haswood, 350 F.3d 1024, 1027 (9th Cir. 2003). Any suggestion by a law enforcement officer "that a suspect's exercise of the right to remain silent may result in harsher treatment by a court or prosecutor" is unconstitutionally coercive. United States v. Harrison, 34 F.3d 886, 891-92 (9th Cir. 1994).
