He's coming in from the northern border. Americans don't seem very concerned with what comes in from the North - even when the man is highly suspicious and is quite possibly a homicidal maniac carrying an assortment of weapons on his person, one of which is probably bloodied.
Had he come in from the southern border, he would have been detained without question. People get detained crossing the southern border just because they want to run their information (and yes, I noted that he was held for two hours), and if the authorities still have nothing tangible to hold the person on but have a strong feeling something is awry, they will FIND something to hold the person on.
