Mozilla Employee Denied Entry To the United States (gizmodo.com)
Reader Artem Tashkinov writes: Daniel Stenberg, an employee at Mozilla and the author of the command-line tool curl, was not allowed to board his flight to the meeting from Sweden—despite the fact that he'd previously obtained a visa waiver allowing him to travel to the US. Stenberg was unable to check in for his flight, and was notified at the airport ticket counter that his entry to the US had been denied. Although Mozilla doesn't believe that the incident is related to Trump's travel ban, the incident stirred fears among international tech workers, who fear they'll miss out on work and research opportunities if they're not allowed to travel to the US. The situation even caught the eye of Microsoft's chief legal officer Brad Smith, who tweeted at Stenberg to offer legal assistance.

My guess is that it's because a Google for him leads to https://daniel.haxx.se/
In the minds (or what passes for it) of US immigration and border control, that domain name means he must be a dangerous haxxor...
Except Canadians, we do not pay anything to enter the USA.
Except your soul! (evil laugh)
You do realize that using video conferencing instead of face-to-face collaboration doesn't work near as well in practice as it does in theory?
It's like phone sex vs in-person sex. Of course, most programmers wouldn't know that.
