I am a U. S. Customs and Border Protection Officer on the southwest border between Mexico and the United States. I know the ins and outs of the job as seen on TV/News and things intentionally hidden from the media! There's more to this job than "Anything to declare?" I dont know all but I'll do my best to answer any questions you have! All answers are my opinion, and my opinion only!
Unfortunately for you, the Officers have the final say on who can come into the United States. I was not there, so I cannot comment on what the Officers' were thinking.

I think we need more officers and dogs. Officers are constantly getting forced doubles on a regular basis. Doing this, you kill the moral of the Officers which negatively impact both job performance and interactions with the public. When you have more Officers, more drugs will get caught and people would potentially be treated better. Speaking of drugs, the dogs are an INCREDIBLE tool. Our dogs are regarded as the best in the world for finding drugs; other countries' governments come train their dogs with ours.

There is no SET procedure, it just depends on the Officer working the case and the Supervisors/Chiefs making a decision on if it would be in the interest of justice to just have them voluntarily return. Expeditiously Removing someone "Throw back" takes a lot more paperwork and a lot more man hours to complete, rather than a simple form for a voluntary departure. Either way, they are still getting fingerprinted and photographed.

You cannot get an ADIT stamp at the port of entry. You must go to a USCIS office to obtain an ADIT stamp for an expired/lost I-551. The officer at the port will verify your boarding foil and then grant you admission.

Is it true that the "specials" are usually the stuff that's been sitting around awhile?
Sorry, that is out of my area of expertise. Only the SSA and CIS can help you with this issue.

If your flight does not touch down on US soil at any point in time, you will not see a CBP Officer. Now, if your flight from Toronto connected to, say Miami, then Cancun, you would then see a CBP Officer.

Nothing has really changed since President Trump took office, despite what the media portrays. From my recent experiences, we haven't really been "more aggressive" than we have in the past. That being said, reckless driving is not a CIMT and you will not be placed under removal proceedings for that conviction alone.
