Not legal advice but I'm a US citizen and when I've refused to answer their intrusive questions the worst that has happened to me is they imprisoned me, stripped me naked and searched me, got a fraudulent warrant for an internal body search, and then sent me the bill after dumping me at the border when they found nothing.
Enjoy.
Can you explain what fraud was used to obtain the warrant?
Yes.
They claimed a dog alerted on me. An anonymous dog, handled by an unnamed officer in the affidavit, which was used as 3rd party inter-species hearsay via a HSI officer to the assistant attorney and judge.
A dog did not alert on me. In fact it is against CBP policy to use dogs on a person, they are to be used on your articles.
I think you posted from a new account for privacy and then mistakenly posted from your original account?

Which entry point was that at, and did you enter by air or land?
In particular if it was entering the southern border by land, I heard CBP behavior is much more aggressive.
