This is no worse (or better) than any other law enforcement agency. What was being suggested is that there's a 100 mile border zone in which CBP may legally conduct searches without probable cause like they can at a border crossing; that's not the case.
The thing they can do that I find problematic is stop all traffic at a checkpoint and ask immigration-related questions without any suspicion whatsoever. This is conceptually similar to a DUI checkpoint, and I think the courts are wrong to allow either in the USA because they constitute a detention not based on reasonable, individualized suspicion of a crime.
