White House adviser Stephen Miller said President Donald Trump’s new travel ban will accomplish much the same thing as the old one. Last month’s executive order banning travelers from seven Muslim-majority nations and halting the influx of all refugees led to nationwide protests, an act of rebellion in the Justice Department and multiple court rulings against the administration. “Serious problems: people joining ISIS, joining terror groups, joining al Qaeda and committing or attempting to commit acts of crime and terror against our nation,” he said. However, a Cato Institute analysis issued last month found that between 1975 and 2015, zero fatal terror attacks occurred on U.S. soil that were carried out by immigrants from the countries named in the travel ban. The American Civil Liberties Union responded Wednesday to Miller’s comments by hinting at a new lawsuit.
