Claimed in courtroom none arrested from 7 designated countries since 9/11
WASHINGTON – The judge who issued a stay on President Trump’s executive order temporarily barring entry to the U.S. by those from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Libya and Somalia erroneously claimed in his courtroom that no person from those countries have been arrested in the U.S. since 9/11.
In a courtroom exchange Friday with Department of Justice lawyer Michelle Bennett, federal Judge James L. Robart, asked, “How many arrests have there been of foreign nationals from those seven countries since 9/11”?
“I don’t know the specific details of attacks or planned attacks,” said Bennett, who is from the Department of Justice’s Civil Division.
“The answer to that is none, as best I can tell,” said the judge.
While Robart was clearly wrong – travelers and immigrants from the seven countries have indeed been involved in the murders of Americans and other heinous crimes – a better answer would have been: No one knows just how many have been arrested because no one has been counting mere arrests.

What he didn't say was he received a phone call in the night and was told what to do or his wife and him would both have their heads chopped off!
In my opinion if a judge can not read what the law states or refuses to follow the laws as they are written he either needs to hold off on a decision until he reads up on it or remove himself. This judge has done an injustice to our rule of law and should be removed. He has made a decision based solely on his thoughts, which is wrong, and not on laws as they are written there for he should be removed!
A judge should never make a decision or public statement about anything that isn't verifiable fact.
Doesn't anyone else watch, read, listen to a variety of news sources other than just one? Doesn't anyone else know that people from those 7 countries, and others, are smuggled to other countries and THEN enter the U.S.? If you are a terrorist, will you enter a country from a country that is "banned" and being watched diligently? Or would you skip around and enter from a country that has less scrutiny?
If people would actually think for a minute, stop protesting, and stop worrying about feelings being hurt, maybe we wouldn't be in as much danger and look like freaking idiots to the rest of the world.
And do a little research on Muslims and Islam. If you are an infidel to them, it is acceptable, encouraged and DONE to lie to you. They could have one hand on their holy koran (Quran for you nitpickers) and lie to your face if it advances their cause for Islam.
They may appear peaceful and all goody goody when the percentage of them in a country is low. As their population percentage goes up, so do their acts of rebellion, violence, and domination.
Do not be fooled. When their numbers get high enough they will attack. I don't care which country they are from or say they are from. Their motives are the same. From the 7th century to today.
Let's see. Liberal Democrats bring Trumps travel ban before a biased liberal Democratic Judge. Wonder what the outcome will be?
