Yes, it is. You're in detention until your credible fear interview, and they take the credible fear interview seriously (in no small part because they're being crushed with people right now). There's zero chance our Saudi national could pass a credible fear interview passing as a Central American asylee; and if you're claiming to be a Yemeni national (or some other nationality not typically seen at the border), you're going to get a much closer look. Especially if you're travelling with no ID.
Why do you think some Saudi would try to pass for being a Honduran? They don't need to do that.
And again, languish in detention until they get their credible fear interview, and either fail that and get deported immediately or pass it and stay detained indefinitely. Because they don't have any documentation of who they are, and speak Arabic instead of Spanish.
Why are you assuming some terrorist is going to try to pass off his Arabic for Spanish?
