People have been getting wrongly denied entry to the U.S. for bad/factually-incorrect reasons for decades, probably ever since we had an immigration system.
Obviously immigration should do a better job on their false positive rates, and not just their false negative rates, but these are never going to go to zero. Someone probably made a clear mistake in this particular case, but without details who knows. For all we know there's some social media or blog post of his with something like a joke about harming he-who-shall-not-be-named.
