Why is this flagged?

First of all, it's about an entrepreneur traveling to the US for a startup, which is directly relevant to a significant proportion of YCombinator founders themselves.

Beyond its direct relevance to the core founding audience of HN, it is not clickbait or wantonly inflammatory, and is clearly of interest to many based on the comment activity and votes.

This is an article about immigration which is highly relevant to US tech

Would they cover it on TV news?

There's little-to-no discussion about the implications on tech, based on my reading of the comments.

Just general politics and nationalism.

Okay, so what's your answer? Why's it getting flagged? I just tried to answer guy's question.
