It's selective.

Once again dismissing the violation of US citizens' Constitutional rights.

Is asking for ID a violation of constitutional rights?  I would agree the optics are not good, though.

I'm not a lawyer so I'm not going to go too deep into this, but not preventing US citizens from leaving a plane that originated from another US city without presenting their papers seems to go against both the 4th and 5th Amendments.

Ditto, which is why I'm attempting to tread carefully.

Did they forcibly stop anyone that tried to walk past them without showing ID?

State to state, now with papers.

I think it's like a checkpoint setup by police to capture a fugitive. They stop every car and search before letting them through.

The problem, if there is a problem, is that these weren't police officers.

They were imposters.

They were border guards, who have (presumably) different powers and authorities.

I'm trying to think if this would be a problem in Canada, but I honestly don't know.  There is a duty to identify yourself to a peace officer (which is a broad category which includes both police and border services), but the question would be whether or not the border guard is acting "In the execution of their duty".

In Spain there wouldn't be a problem since border protection and regular policing are carried out by the same law enforcement body (Guardia Civil).

Are the 4th and 5th the police state amendments?

Tricornios? AFAIK they're mostly ceremonial nowadays.
