How do US border agents tell if someone is potentially a sex worker and deny entry or ban them from entering the country?

Question

I read this happens and some escorts are banned from going to the US. But how do they know to begin with? profiling by how they dress and look? and then ask for their social media?

Generally it is profiling which can border on racism, so single Asian females travelling unaccompanied into America with little financial support and with a long term visa and few personal belongings like clothes etc. Also checking criminal records which are shared internationally for any previous arrests to do with sex.
