That isn’t true. They can detain you briefly for questioning at the border, but if there is no crime then you will be released. Feel free to dig into historical court cases about border detention if you disagree.
If you get charged with a crime, things are very different.

They can hold you for a few hours while they investigate, but they can't just arbitrarily detain you without a legal basis.
