President Donald Trump tweeted out a headline Saturday morning criticizing an influx in ‘suspect’ refugees since the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against his travel ban.
Trump tweeted: ‘Our legal system is broken! “77% of refugees allowed into U.S. since travel reprieve hail from seven suspect countries.” (WT) SO DANGEROUS!’
Trump does not link back to the Washington Times article which explains how this influx is mostly refugees being rescheduled who were denied entry while the ban was enforced.
