DOJ Says It Will Not Correct Errors in 2018 Terrorism Report

HeadlineJan 07, 2019

In a rare move, the Justice Department acknowledged flaws and errors in a January 2018 report that linked terrorism and immigration; however, they are refusing to retract or edit the report. The report, entitled “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States,” was released to support Trump’s March 2017 travel ban, barring entry to citizens from six majority-Muslim countries. Among the errors, the report conflates arrests with convictions, misrepresents the timespan it covers, and misleadingly counts people charged with non-terrorist related offenses.
