Note that there are 3 different explanations floating around.

"he expressed a personal opinion on the research policy pursued by the
Trump administration"

"He was accused of sending messages that “expressed hatred towards Trump 
and can be qualified as terrorism,”"

"The French researcher in question was in possession of confidential 
information on his electronic device from Los Alamos National 
Laboratory— in violation of a non-disclosure agreement"

which are:
- unacceptable
- fishy
- reasonable
as reason for denial of entry respectively in my optics.

I would not conclude anything until I knew which one was the correct one.
