>interrogated me in a way intended to get me to incriminate myself (questions I wouldn't answer to police on the street, but wasn't in a position to deny them) If you are a U.S citizen, they legally can't deny you entry into your own country. Nor can they force you to answer any questions beyond the most basic ones that establish your citizenship and ID. They can intimidate you and make you feel you should divulge more, but this is just bluster, and you have rights that are well worth exercising.
