The White House on Wednesday afternoon released a list of 24 terror suspects who previously entered the U.S. from the seven countries named in President Trump's Jan. 27 executive order.

The document lists 24 refugees and other immigrants from Somalia, Sudan, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Syria and Libya who entered the U.S. in the last eight years and were later arrested by U.S. law enforcement officials on terrorism charges after being admitted.

The seven countries are Muslim-majority nations. Critics have alleged the Trump administration targeted those countries in a move of religious discrimination. The White House's release of the list was meant to push back against those attacks as proof the 90-day suspension of immigration is warranted due to national security concerns.

Ten residents from Somalia, six from Iraq, two from Sudan, two from Iran, two from Libya, one from Syria and one from Yemen are mentioned in a document that Fox News posted. The most recent case is about two Somali refugees who were convicted of conspiring to commit murder in Syria on behalf of the Islamic State.

Trump's order has been challenged by multiple state attorneys general. Last Friday, Seattle U.S. District Judge James Robart issued a restraining order on the ban. The issue is currently being decided by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The Justice Department argued against Washington state Solicitor General Noah Purcell in a phone hearing on Tuesday evening.
