As an American, I find this extremely disconcerting. I've long been deeply bothered by the unlimited power the border patrol has, and the lack of transparency it shows when it takes action. Nor am I comfortable how far beyond the border these extended powers are claimed by CBP to exist either. Frankly, entering the country should be a much more transparent process - and barring something I dont know, I see no reason why this journalist should have been denied entry, other than someone at the border got a hair up their ass about it.
