Misleading. Unsurprisingly, most convicted of *international* terrorism are foreign-born. But report doesn't mention domestic terrorism, which is more common in US, and mostly committed by people born here. Advances anti-immigrant paranoia, not understanding of terrorist threat.https://twitter.com/TheJusticeDept/status/953275839361187840 …

I'll give
@PoliticalShort the benefit of the doubt, and assume he made a mistake rather than deliberately mislead But that's why the report's a problem. It facilitates the error that most terrorism in US is by foreign-born individuals, especially for people who want to believe itShow this thread -
Yesterday, I explained that the report was misleading because it looked only at international terrorism. Today, POTUS dropped the "international" qualifier and just said "terrorism-related." Benefit of the doubt removed. This is coordinated disinformation.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/953406423177859073 …
