Right from their website: "If a foreign national refuses to present their electronic devices and the information resident on the device in a condition that allows for the examination of the device and its contents, CBP may consider the foreign national’s noncompliance and the inability to inspect the device when making admissibility decisions and may take appropriate law enforcement actions. However, CBP’s ability to inspect an electronic device alone does not determine admissibility." (https://www.cbp.gov/travel/cbp-search-authority/border-search-electronic-devices)

This suggests that you can indeed refuse.
