[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 2638517, member: 12952"] Classic case of Media Bias . Judge James Robart, a federal district judge in Seattle, stated that no one from the seven countries on Trump’s list – Iraq, Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya – has been arrested on terrorism charges since the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on America. This is his ruling for stopping Trumps EO. However his statement is a lie . And only right wing outlets reported it . The rest of the media said nothing until ; Finally, on Monday afternoon, the Associated Press came out with a [URL='http://m.startribune.com/ap-fact-check-no-arrests-from-7-nations-in-travel-ban-nope/412922353/?section=nation']fact-check on Robart’s comment[/URL], debunking it as patently false. “WASHINGTON — The federal judge who halted President Donald Trump’s travel ban was wrong in stating that no one from the seven countries targeted in Trump’s order has been arrested for extremism in the United States since the 2001 terrorist attacks. Just last October, an Iraqi refugee living in Texas pleaded guilty to attempting to provide support to the Islamic State group, accused of taking tactical training and wanting to blow himself up in an act of martyrdom. In November, a Somali refugee injured 11 in a car-and-knife attack at Ohio State University, and he surely would have been arrested had he not been killed by an officer.” [/QUOTE]
