300 refugees subjects of FBI terror investigations, U.S. officials say


Hundreds of people admitted to the United States as refugees are the subjects of FBI counterterrorism investigations involving ISIS – including some individuals from countries cited on President Trump’s revised travel ban. Nearly a third of the 1,000 FBI domestic terrorism cases – 300 – involve those admitted to the U.S. as refugees, a Department of Homeland Security official said Monday. Officials said some of those 300 came to “infiltrate” the U.S., while others were radicalized once they were in the country. "Like every nation, the United States has a right to control who enters our country and to keep out those who would do us harm," Sessions said. FBI Director James Comey said in late 2015 that some 900 terror investigations were going on, and probes were active in every state.
