It’s very hard to believe that you were not told why your inspection was deferred. They do not conduct inspections in silence. it ordinarily takes a long time to do all the paperwork for a deferred inspection.
Most deferred inspections are caused by the arriving alien lacking something, e.g., proof of residence, proof that taxes were paid, or some other kind of evidence that the arriving alien needed but did not have at the inspection. Usually, you’re given 2 to 4 weeks to get what you need and to show up for a continuation of the inspection.
I know that the inspectors spoke to you. I know that they asked you questions about your trip. They may have asked you about residence, or U.S. employment. Somehow, you failed to satisfy them that you were clearly admissible as a returning resident.
Think back on the questions you were asked. That should give you a hint about the reason for the deferred.
