I cited the examples of Georgia and Virginia to emphasize that known cases of these Border Patrol operations seem to cluster in areas that are frequently points of disembarkation for international travel.
I don't disagree with you that DHS operations are often abusive, and I have even suggested that the examples cited by that article might not be justified as "functionally equivalent". I do think, however, that the idea of a "Constitution-free zone" isn't a useful concept for describing DHS practices.
