I believe one of the reasons the appeals Judge in Washingon State disallowed the First draft of the travel ban was that there was no connection between refugees and terrorism here. This article claims to show that "officials" were still in the process of gathering information on the link and the current update makes a connection. According to the article:
"One official also sought to clarify the apparent conflict with a leaked DHS report that appeared to show no connection between refugees and terrorism. The official said the draft document, which was reported by The Associated Press on Feb. 24, was not complete, had not been vetted through the interagency process and did not reflect classified information.
FBI Director James Comey said in late 2015 that some 900 terror investigations were going on, and probes were active in every state. But Monday's development marked the first official concrete linkage between the refugee program and terrorism."
If you don't want to believe it . . . fine with me.
