It's not for 'too political', it's that similar stories have recently had significant discussions.

This is the first I've seen in the current dragnet that involved a US citizen.

  It has happened before but also, each case has something that makes it different so HN's dupesense can't practically work on that basis.

    I'm not inclined to consider six years ago "recent" or "in the current dragnet".

But again, there have been a bunch of 'US Immigration authorities overreach' stories. The standard for breaking de-repetition can't be 'first I hear of it'. You can always mail the mods to make the case for a particular story if you think it's worth discussing on the front page.

        Detained for five hours at the border seems deeply different than "presented a birth certificate to a judge after being arrested while driving through Florida". I've been detained for a few hours at the border due to a paperwork fuckup. It happens. This is... substantially worse than that.

        Right, you can always come up with something that's different about it because they are different cases. The point is HN doesn't really work like that so if you are interested in this story having a different HN life, you have to do something beside parsing the diffs.
