Then again, I'm well aware that a lot of American rights have been whittled down over the past decade, so maybe they can legally do that.

Actually they can get away with a lot as long as they get the consent of the interrogated. And to do that they use a lot of intimidation factors and bully tactics.
In this case they've interrogated the guy about his immigration status in addition to threatening the guy.
In my experience it's usually the innocent people that get their rights violated while the guilty know the system and gets the full protection.
