Another case from 2013...
US Citizens, Phones stolen, detained without explanation, and officers refused to give names.
"OTM producer Sarah Abdurrahman, her family, and her friends were detained for hours by US Customs and Border Protection on their way home from Canada. Everyone being held was a US citizen, and no one received an explanation. Sarah tells the story of their detainment, and her difficulty getting any answers from one of the least transparent agencies in the country."
It's an audio podcasts, but there are transcript as well.
