I think all of the high profile detentions have happened at land borders. For this MMA coach, Renato Subotic, I can't quite tell, he says he was stopped at the border, which could be at an airport, but sounds more like at a land border.
It's a lot easier to put you on a return flight if you're at the airport.
It might be reasonable to consider visiting the US but being sure to arrive by air, and not by land. But it's understandable if you choose to visit somewhere that's more friendly.

At least currently for the US and Mexico and the US and Canada, if a person crosses the land border and is refused entry to the other country, there's no procedure to act as if they never left the first one; it's treated as a new entry, which may likely be refused (having been refused by another country is a risk factor for refusal). Both countries can't refuse, so one will have to detain.
