Their response gave some light on the action, they say they didn't create the list until after the violence broke out. Seems pretty logical that they would attempt investigate who was there at the time. Not sure it's justified, but logical.
"CBP told our colleagues at NBC News that the names in the database are all people who were present during violence that broke out at the border in November. The agency also said journalists are being tracked so that the agency can learn more about what started that violence."

That no such lists were made in the past is always considered irrelevant. That identical circumstances elsewhere produce no such lists is glossed over. >Lots of flagged comments here...USA collecting information on its own citizens is the biggest question The biggest question is why so many people are perfectly happy with this along side "press is the enemy of the people" and an arbitrary declaration of emergency. Perhaps by questioning and studying why a population suddenly accepts things they never would in the past, other counties will adjust. And it's not really a question, it's really just observing another country following the path of Hungary, Poland, Turkey, Venezuela, Philippines, Russia and India all at various stages along the same trajectory.
