Marmora - Trump's second supposed travel ban has now been presented with many revisions, exclusions, and a phase-in time period. Trump's rationale is again safety and presidential authority. Dept. of Justice (DOJ) and Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) purport 300 investigations of Muslim "refugee" targets, but no specific number was given by them for the six countries now sanctioned. Also, a DHS analysis report cites that citizenship is not a good indicator of determining future terrorist activity. The New York Times reports that just 16 of 240,000 murders in the U.S. since Sept. 11, 2001, were committed by Muslim extremists. Another disguised Muslim ban? Yep!

Moderator's Note: 
A New York Times article March 6 states, "... the Justice Department had identified 300 “refugees” who were being investigated for their links to Islamist terrorist groups or for holding pro-Islamic State positions. Some of those people already have permanent resident status, the official said. But homeland security and Justice Department officials declined to provide further details, and would not say how many of the 300 people being investigated came from the countries covered by the revised travel ban." An Associated Press article Feb. 24 states, "Analysts at the Homeland Security Department's intelligence arm found insufficient evidence that citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries included in President Donald Trump's travel ban pose a terror threat to the United States. A draft document obtained by The Associated Press concludes that citizenship is an "unlikely indicator" of terrorism threats to the United States and that few people from the countries Trump listed in his travel ban have carried out attacks or been involved in terrorism-related activities in the U.S. since Syria's civil war started in 2011." The spouter's statement that, "The New York Times reports that just 16 of 240,000 murders in the U.S. since Sept. 11, 2001, were committed by Muslim extremists," could not be corroborated.
