CBP has been infamous for asserting that the Constitution doesn't apply at all in these border areas. I wouldn't put it past the government to harass this person further, so I don't blame the person for not wanting their name in the public sphere (even still, they might harass him, I'm sure there are enough details in the story for them to identify him).

Which is funny since they only exist because of the Constitution. So where does it says it doesn't apply to them?

The US government has basically turned the Constitution into toilet paper, only useful when they want to pay lip service to the inherent rights of the people. Any other time, they prefer to wipe their ass with it.
