In a report Monday, the Associated Press, relying on the research of University of North Carolina professor Charles Kurzman, reported that "23 percent of Muslim Americans involved with extremist plots since Sept. In fairness to Judge Robart, Artan was shot and killed by police -not arrested -so perhaps the judge didn't count him. One highly publicized example was the case of Abdul Artan, a Somali refugee who last November wounded 11 people with a machete during an attack on the campus of Ohio State University. In addition, since the Senate list was compiled, there have been others involved in terrorism in the United States from the seven countries.
And with 129 unknowns, there might be more, as well. Of the 380, there were representatives -at least 60 -from all of the countries on the Trump executive order list. The subcommittee investigated further and found that at least 380 of the 580 were foreign-born and that an additional 129 were of unknown origin. The Justice Department provided the subcommittee with a list of 580 people who were convicted -not just arrested, but tried and convicted -of terror-related offenses between Sept.
Last summer, the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest analyzed public sources of information, seeking to learn more about people convicted of terror-related offenses. Now, it turns out Robart might not know as much as he let on. District Court for the Western District of Washington State ordered a nationwide -actually worldwide -halt to enforcement of the president's executive order. In that brief moment, Robart declared there is "no support" for Trump's decision. So, I mean, you're here arguing on behalf of someone President Trump that says: We have to protect the United States from these individuals coming from these countries, and there's no support for that." "The answer to that is none, as best I can tell. I'm from the civil division, if that helps get me off the hook." "Your honor, I don't have that information. How many arrests have there been of foreign nationals for those seven countries since 9/11?" "You're from the Department of Justice, if I understand correctly?" "Well, let me walk you back, then," Robart said. security or an area that is a safe haven for terrorists."īennett was obviously improvising a bit at that point and did not have the facts at her fingertips. I will also note that the seven countries that are listed in the executive order are the same seven countries that were already subject to other restrictions in obtaining visas that Congress put in place, both by naming countries, Syria and Iraq, and that the prior administration put in place by designating them as places where terrorism is likely to occur, or -the specific factors are whether the presence in a particular country increases the likelihood that an alien is a credible threat to U.S. "I think -I will point out, first of all, that the rationale for the order was not only 9/11, it was to protect the United States from the potential for terrorism. "Your honor, I don't know the specific details of attacks or planned attacks," Bennett responded. "Have there been terrorist attacks in the United States by refugees or other immigrants from the seven countries listed, since 9/11?" Bennett said. In court last week, Robart questioned Justice Department lawyer Michelle Bennett about the administration's decision to confine the moratorium to Somalia, Libya, Yemen, Syria, Sudan, Iraq, and Iran. District Court for the Western District of Washington State, believes there is no basis for President Trump's executive order temporarily suspending non-American entry from seven terrorism-plagued countries.
